Working hand-in-hand with other NRC activities in the field through an integrated approach, we aim to <strong>create homes and build communities</strong> to protect people from the risks of displacement and enable them to live in dignity.</p> <p>We believe that reaching our collective impact of protection and dignity is a process. This starts with saving lives by facilitating access to temporary shelter during the emergency phase, and continues even in protracted displacement, and for durable solutions. The shelter and settlements response is based on learning from displaced people what makes a shelter a home and how to transform a settlement into a community.</p> <p>For more information, please see our Global Development Strategy for Shelter and Settlements 2022-2025:<br /><br /></p> </div> </div> </div><div> <div class="page-wrapper"> <div class="file-download__wrapper full-width left"> <a href="/globalassets/pdf/policy-documents/global-development-strategy-shelter-and-settlements-2022-2025/shelter-and-settlements-global-development-strategy-2022-2025-english.pdf" target="_blank"> <div class="file-download__item"> <div class="file-type__icon"> <img src="/Content/img/fileicon/pdf.svg" alt="Filetype icon"> </div> <div class="file-download__info"> <div class="filename">Shelter and Settlements Global Development Strategy 2022-2025 English.pdf</div> <div class="size">3.5 MB</div> </div> <div class="file-download__icon"> <img src="/Content/img/fileicon/download.svg" alt="Filetype icon"> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/globalassets/pdf/policy-documents/global-development-strategy-shelter-and-settlements-2022-2025/shelter-and-settlements-global-development-strategy-2022-2025-french.pdf" target="_blank"> <div class="file-download__item"> <div class="file-type__icon"> <img src="/Content/img/fileicon/pdf.svg" alt="Filetype icon"> </div> <div class="file-download__info"> <div class="filename">Shelter and Settlements Global Development Strategy 2022-2025 French.pdf</div> <div class="size">7.5 MB</div> </div> <div class="file-download__icon"> <img src="/Content/img/fileicon/download.svg" alt="Filetype icon"> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/globalassets/pdf/policy-documents/global-development-strategy-shelter-and-settlements-2022-2025/shelter-and-settlements-global-development-strategy-2022-2025-spanish.pdf" target="_blank"> <div class="file-download__item"> <div class="file-type__icon"> <img src="/Content/img/fileicon/pdf.svg" alt="Filetype icon"> </div> <div class="file-download__info"> <div class="filename">Shelter and Settlements Global Development Strategy 2022-2025 Spanish.pdf</div> <div class="size">7.6 MB</div> </div> <div class="file-download__icon"> <img src="/Content/img/fileicon/download.svg" alt="Filetype icon"> </div> </div> </a> </div> </div></div><div><div class="page-wrapper page-wrapper--wide product-box--default block-width--default"> <div class="list-module list-module--large-gutter list-module--3-cols"> <h3 class="lined-heading"><span>Related news and stories</span></h3> <div class="blocks-container"> <div class="block"> <div class="article-list-view-model-secondary block-padding"> <a href="/feature/2024/record-high-need-for-homes-in-conflict-affected-countries/" class="article-list-view-model__wrapper"> <img data-src="/image/320713/RS25046_Al%20Fao%201_lpr.jpg?width=768&height=384" class="lazyload wide" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 600 200'%2F%3E" data-srcset="/image/320713/RS25046_Al%20Fao%201_lpr.jpg?width=480&height=240 480w, /image/320713/RS25046_Al%20Fao%201_lpr.jpg?width=600&height=300 600w, /image/320713/RS25046_Al%20Fao%201_lpr.jpg?width=768&height=384 768w, /image/320713/RS25046_Al%20Fao%201_lpr.jpg?width=1024&height=512 1024w, /image/320713/RS25046_Al%20Fao%201_lpr.jpg?width=1200&height=600 1200w, /image/320713/RS25046_Al%20Fao%201_lpr.jpg?width=1400&height=700 1400w" alt="" debug="ratio:2 maxheight:-1" data-sizes="(min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (min-width: 1024px) 16.5vw, (min-width: 1024px) 33vw, 100vw" /> <div class="article-list-view-model__content "> <h2>Record high need for homes in conflict-affected countries</h2> <div class="article-list-view-model__tags"> <time>03.
