This assessment investigates whether there are sustainable alternatives to tents as transitional shelters in Puntland, focusing on the advantages of CGI (Corrugated Galvanized Iron) materials. It evaluates priority concerns related to shelter options, including protection, fire safety, durability, implementation time, quality assurance, and impact on livelihoods. With a comparative analysis of costs—tents at $450 and CGI at $650—this study underscores the potential of CGI to strengthen the Somali economy through increased local sourcing and improved durability, promising solutions that last from 1.5 to up to 5 years.
