This review took place in El Salvador and Haiti, and draws primarily on interviews with those involved in the emergency shelter response to Ida in El Salvador. This included UN agencies, NGOs, IFRC, donors and the Government of El Salvador (GOES) Vice Ministry of Housing (VMH). These were lengthy interviews usually taking between 1 and 2 hours each. The key informants for the review were those proposed by the IFRC Americas Delegation and the Geneva based IFRC shelter department as well as some other informants that emerged during the course of this research.
