This document captures the shared experiences of stakeholders involved in the IOM-UNICEF programme Enhancement of the Network of Evacuation Centres in Eastern Samar, Philippines. Its primary focus is to consolidate the lessons learnt during planning, design, construction and handover of the community evacuation centre projects in Guiuan and Borongan to guide and assist stakeholders who want to embark on similar projects. The document is therefore both a practical guide and an advocacy tool for national and local governments, humanitarian and development organizations and for affected communities.
