  • Analyzed data to identify themes around shelter guidance in conflict zones.
  • Explored connections to existing technical and scientific evidence.
  • Shelter guidance is fragmented and inconsistently applied across different armed conflict contexts.
  • Practitioners noted a significant gap between available evidence and current practices.
  • Highlights the necessity for tailored, evidence-informed approaches to enhance civilian safety.

Shelter guidance in EWIPA contexts is fragmented and only partially connected to the existing technical and scientific evidence base. Findings highlight the need for coordinated, context-specific, and evidence-informed approaches to strengthen civilian protection.
