8. Temporary Shelter Construction in Kenya

The chapter discusses the challenges and responses to temporary shelter reconstruction in Kenya, particularly in the context of political violence that has led to significant internal displacement. It addresses the role of various stakeholders, including the Kenyan government and humanitarian organizations, in providing temporary shelters and facilitating resettlement for internally displaced persons (IDPs) following the political upheaval of 2007-2008.
