The GSC enables better coordination among all shelter actors, including local and national governments, so that people who need shelter assistance get help faster and receive the right kind of support. The GSC is is a public platform co-chaired by IFRC and UNHCR at the global level, it has 45 partners who participate on a regular basis.

I strongly believe in the transformative power of safe, inclusive public space - for women and men, for girls and boys. UN-Habitat Afghanistan has created public spaces that are gender-sensitive and also contribute to disaster risk reduction in informal settlements. Very impactful.
