Clients: Catholic Relief Services (CRS) – Gaziantep Municipality
In this contract, Protek-Yapi served as a sub-consultant under Miyamoto International Inc.
Project Description:
This project was implemented in parallel with the “USAID-BHA Rapid and Sustainable Emergency Shelter Solutions” project, aiming to support communities globally in disaster preparedness and response.
The proposed interventions for this project were aligned with the following purposes:
- Purpose 1: Informing and Empowering communities through pedagogical awareness and communication campaigns.
- Purpose 2: Facilitating the home return of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to safe/undamaged structures.
- Purpose 3: Facilitating the safe home return of IDPs to repairable structures.
- Purpose 4: Increasing access to activity resources and tools.
Due to this project, more than 5,000 households in Gaziantep, who were able to occupy undamaged buildings, have gained access to critical structural safety information. Also, approximately 1,500 lightly damaged structures were assessed and the repair needs, cost estimates, and Bill of Quantities (BOQs) for each inspected building were produced, providing the targeted households (7,500 households) with the necessary information to rapidly and safely implement cost-effective repairs. Miyamoto-Protek designed and implemented a broader community pedagogical communication campaign, utilizing physical brochures, posters, and digital publications, targeting displaced households of habitable structures.
