Report Narrative A. Activity Interventions and Results Award Summary: Objectives and Beneficiaries The objective of this food aid program is to provide critically needed nutritional support in the form of Breedlove Harvest Lentil Pro® food supplement to community health programs, hospitals and care centers serving vulnerable populations at risk of malnutrition, including orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs), pregnant women and lactating mothers (PWLM), people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA), hospital patients, and elderly in the Dominican Republic (DR). These beneficiaries were selected because they are the most vulnerable children and adults in the region with very limited access to sufficient food or nutritional supplementation. The recipient institutions are maternal and children’s health care centers, community health care programs, general nutrition programs, orphanages, HIV treatment programs, schools, geriatric care programs, special needs centers, medical operatives and a nutritional aid program for undernourished patients preparing for humanitarian surgical operatives in the Dominican Republic. CitiHope International-Dominican Republic (CHI-DR) works directly with beneficiary institutions across the island and initially targeted 24,408 OVCs, PWLM, PLWHA, hospital patients, and the elderly in this program, delivering 150.08 metric tons (MT) of Harvest Lentil Pro®. Several factors affected our original distribution plan. The COVID-19 pandemic has created an extreme food shortage in the Dominican Republic due to loss of income from the shutdown and to the ongoing effects of the 2019 blight and drought in agricultural areas. As educational and daycare centers were closed our distribution plan adjusted to provide increased support to family nutrition programs. Prior to the pandemic, CHI-DR had planned to distribute a portion of the Harvest Lentil Pro® to school feeding programs which prepared meals on site for students. When these school feeding programs closed and schools shifted to providing food distribution to students’ entire families, CHI-DR shifted to providing Harvest Lentil Pro® to these family distributions, resulting in significantly more beneficiaries than originally planned. The ration size per beneficiary was adjusted based on updated needs assessment and consultation with participating institutions, allowing for entire families to be reached. In addition, the Dominican Ministry of Health and military, which led the Dominican Republic’s network of COVID-19 first responders, requested that CHI-DR add COVID-19 patients to the 2 Submitted: 3/30/20 72DFFP19FA00003 USAID’s Food for Peace IFRP Program – CitiHope Sanar una Nación food distribution. Military hospitals were set up in March for isolation and COVID-19 patient care. The military medical directors requested assistance from CHI-DR for COVID-19 related personal protective equipment (PPE), medicines, and nutrition. CHI-DR, through its Sanar una Nación (Heal A Nation) alliance with leading Dominican corporations which provide financial and in-kind support, provided PPE, medicines and the USAID Breedlove Harvest Lentil Pro® for hospitals, isolation centers and to families in home isolation. Over 500 COVID-19 patients and families in isolation received Harvest Lentil Pro®, which was also provided to medical professionals serving in hospitals and traveling around the island tracking the pandemic. In total, 63,115 persons, including children, families, PWLM, OVCs, PLWHA, elderly persons, COVID-19 patients, and their families, have been reached with nutritional assistance through this program. This IFRP program assisted the local medical infrastructure in caring for vulnerable patients through the following objectives: 1.) Provide nutritional support for populations at risk of chronic malnutrition so that they may reach their potential in physical and behavioral development. 2.) Provide urgent nutrition for COVID-19 patients and their families, during isolation treatment and recovery. In addition, provide nutritional support to the many thousands that were affected by the COVID-19 shutdown and quarantine. 3.) For those patients with HIV/AIDS, provide the additional nutritional support necessary to complement antiretroviral therapy (ART). Patients with HIV/AIDS need to consume 10 to 20 percent more calories than those who are HIV negative. 4.) Provide safe, non-contaminated nutritional supplementation in areas where environmental hazards can traditionally cause parasite/bacterial contamination. 5.) Provide nutrition training to community leaders, health care providers, and caregivers to encourage behavior changes in targeted at-risk populations. 6.) Improve quality, efficiency, and safety of institutional food service capabilities by providing supplemental nutrition to add to complementary foods. 7.) Provide greater food security for an institutionalized segment of the population of the DR. Distribution CHI worked with Breedlove staff to secure a freight-forwarder to manage the international shipping of the commodity from the U.S.A. to CHI-DR warehousing facilities in San Isidro, Santo Domingo Este via Rio Haina port. CHI-DR, which currently clears several shipping containers of humanitarian aid per month in collaboration with Grupo Rica customs services, facilitated the clearing process of the commodities through Dominican Customs. CHI-DR then coordinated directly with recipient institutions to transport the commodity and safely store it 3 Submitted: 3/30/20 72DFFP19FA00003 USAID’s Food for Peace IFRP Program – CitiHope Sanar una Nación in existing pre-approved storage facilities for further distribution to urban and rural areas, drawing upon its extensive experience in such large-scale distributions in Dominican Republic based on its ongoing medical and nutritional humanitarian program, Sanar Una Nación. The 8 40-foot containers of Harvest Lentil Pro® were shipped to the Dominican Republic in two installments. The first four containers shipped from Breedlove Foods on February 4, 2020 and arrived in the Dominican Republic in early March. The final four containers shipped from Breedlove Foods on March 6, 2020 and arrived in the Dominican Republic in early April. As the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread through communities in late March, CHI-DR reevaluated needs with government authorities, such as the Ministry of Health and the military, and the corporate leadership of our Sanar una Nación alliance. Upon careful evaluation with our beneficiary organizations, distribution was reestablished focusing on the COVID-19 response and keeping sight on our established nutrition programs with our trusted network of institutions. CHI-DR staff and distribution partners were trained and observed protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the distribution of the food commodity. COVID-19 protocols included mask wearing, physical distancing, and handwashing/hand sanitizing. Where prudent, face shields and overalls were provided for staff and partners during distribution activities. Local travel restrictions and the temporary closure of some beneficiary institutions during the early months of the pandemic delayed the distribution. Through September 30, 2020, 100.7 MT (67%) of the Harvest Lentil Pro® had been distributed. The remaining 33% (49.3 MT) of the product was distributed to beneficiary institutions from November

Serra_, Socorro Garcla_, Yony Segura_, and Juan AriasInstituto Dominicano de Investigaciones Agropecuarias y Forestales (IDIAF), JPrograma Nacional de Protecciôn Vegetal, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. ABSTRACT: The pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is the second most important leguminous crop for the Dominicans. Fresh or canned seeds are also exported, i.e., to Puerto Rico and the U.S.A. The crop with very low input requirements is produced in marginal areas and serves as an important source of protein for the peasant farmers. The pigeon pea pod fly (.Melanagromyza ob tus a Malloch) has been a pest in Asian countries for decades and was first reported in the western hemisphere in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic in the year 2000 (NPAG 2000; Kauffman 2001; Abud et al., 2002). Alerted by local farmers, between 2002 and 2003 two separate research teams, based at San Juan de la Maguana and San Francisco de Macoris, carried out a survey. The study consisted in the determination of the dispersal of the recently introduced pest, the damage levels and the presence and effectiveness of antagonists of the pest. Pods were collected from plants in more than 20 localities belonging to 5 provinces of the major pigeon pea producing regions in the southwest and south, as well as of more than 20 localities of 8 provinces in the central and north-eastern regions, being present at >95% of the surveyed sites.
