What is the Cluster

The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) and Emergency Shelter Cluster works together with other organizations to alleviate Haiti's displacement crisis caused by the earthquake of January 2010. Its key functions are coordination, advocacy, policy formulation, contingency planning and training for agencies and organizations involved in camp management and shelter.

The Cluster also collects and reports data using tools such as the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) which is a monitoring tool designed to provide timely and accurate information on the population and Internally Displaced Person (IDP) sites. The Cluster focuses in the relocation of the earthquake affected population from camps to shelter with decent living conditions and ultimately to communities.

Jan 2012 - Second anniversary of the earthquake

In the year of the second anniversary of the earthquake, the E-shelter & CCCM Cluster Coordination Unit organized a multimedia evening, on the 10th January 2012. The Unit presented an exhibition of photographs depicting life within the IDP camps and more specifically the "return to home" as well as part of the series of black and white portraits compiled by the renowned journalist Inigo Gilmore in partnership with Haitian photographers. The Unit projected a series of short documentaries that portray the personal stories of families affected by the 2010 earthquake and have now found different return solutions, along with the first episode of the soap opera "Tele Tap-Tap", a coproduction of IOM and Zakmel Film.
