How has it developed?: 2010 – Ongoing R&D, Modular Shelter SoluFons

  • AlternaFves to tents
  • Covered frames + local materials
  • NaFonal and regional research
slide-6
SLIDE 6

How has it developed?: 2010 – UNHCR and SVID engage in joint shelter related research

  • IKEA FoundaFon supports with funding
  • AddiFonal capacity from 2 Swedish UniversiFes
  • StarFng point - Regionally developed framing soluFons
  • Locally Sourced vs Locally Available

What if we liberate ourselves & re-visit the problem?

2011 No base product Not an iteraFon No pre exisFng supply base or producFon facility/process

slide-8
SLIDE 8

How has it developed?:

  • Global supply base – if it exists it can be considered
  • Best available technology – all of industry
  • New and innovaFve approaches – fresh brains

2012 (Jan) – What about the covering? Rigid? Insulated?
