Project Description

This project aims to help strengthen food security and nutrition among Haiti’s vulnerable populations by strengthening the resilience and livelihoods of smallholder farmers and their communities in the Haut Artibonite region.

Expected Results

The expected outcomes of this project include: 1) local production is developed and improved by enhancing smallholder farmers’ access to markets in the target communes; 2) schools in target communities receive diverse and nutritious meals sourced from local smallholder farmers; 3) target communities strengthen their absorptive adaptive and transformative capacity to cope with risks shocks and climate change while vulnerabilities are reduced and women’s potential and leadership are improved.

Progress & Results Achieved

Results achieved at the end of the project (December 2023) include: (1) strengthened the market penetration skills of 3 359 smallholder farmers (61% of whom were women) through training workshops. These workshops covered a variety of themes such as making connections with microfinance and organizing local purchases and included farm and business management techniques; (2) provided diverse and nutritious meals from local smallholder farmers for 10 days a month for the duration of the project to 7 028 children; (3) improved the absorptive adaptive and transformative capacity of the communes of Corail Pestel and Saint Michel de l’Attalaye to cope with risks shocks and climate change. This is done by rehabilitating and building irrigation canals cleaning and reprofiling canals developing gullies in sub watersheds installing ramps and stone strips on slopes and building 3 760 m³ of stone sills for the soil conservation structures.
