  25. 6. Scope of the SCT Content of thecoordinationservices AllissuesrelatedwithShelter: emergency, transitional, permanent. Thisincludes camp planning, HLP, urbandesign, sheltersupportto host families, shelter in camps... Time frame Commitmenttoemergencyphase Can be extended if: requested, and funds are available, and appropriatestaffisavailable.

  26. 6.2. Resident Coordinators Resident Coordinators do not need to abide by Humanitarian Reform. They may not consider Humanitarian Country Teams but UN Country Teams. IFRC may not be involved in conversations. OCHA is our best ally when dealing with Resident Coordinators. SCT Coordinator informs the Resident Coordinator but has no accountability to him/her.
