These include a sharp increase in food insecurity resulting from drought and the prolonged effects of “El Nino”, the persistence of cholera and a protection crisis triggered by the forced / voluntary return of thousands of Haitians from the Dominican Republic. The immediate needs of the 60,000 people who remain displaced from the 2010 earthquake cannot be overlooked. Finally, the country has a high exposure to climate hazards and natural disasters coupled with limited national response capacity. Haiti remains a largely fragile environment from a governance and development perspectives with high insecurity, overpopulation, widespread poverty, huge economic inequalit ies, a dysfunctional health system, extremely poor access to safe water and sanitation, limited agricultural production, and high environmental degradation.

Read Full License Loading [MathJax]/jax/output/CommonHTML/jax.js Page 1/13 Abstract Background Haiti is one of the Caribbean countries where malaria still persists. Malaria occurs throughout the country at altitudes below 600 meters. More than 99% of the malaria cases are caused by Plasmodium falciparum and the main vector is Anopheles albimanus. This paper aims to describe the epidemiological prole of malaria in Haiti between 2009 and 2018. Methods We analyzed information on malaria cases reported by both the Health Ministry of Haiti (Ministère de la Santé Publique et de la Population-MSPP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) during the study period. Results Between 2009 and 2018, a total of 232,479 malaria cases were reported by the MSPP. There was an increase in the incidence of malaria in the country in 2010 followed by a decrease in 2011. Due to efforts made by Haiti over the past decade to reduce malaria by 2020, malaria incidence has declined from 60,130 cases in 2010 to 8,978 cases in 2018.

The Market for Beans in Sud-Est Department of Haiti
EMERGENCY MARKET MAPPING AND ANALYSIS: THE MARKET FOR BEANS IN SUD-EST DEPARTMENT OF HAITI microREPORT #164 APRIL 2010 This report was prepared for ACDI/VOCA by Laura Meissner, The SEEP Network, Gerry Delphin and Georges Pierre-Louis, ACDI/VOCA; Tim Schwartz, independent consultant; Karri Goeldner Byrne, IRC; Gary Bonhomme, CROSE; and Molière Peronneau, Save the Children. This report is made possible by the Accelerated Microenterprise Advancement Project (AMAP), funded by USAID. EMERGENCY MARKET MAPPING AND ANALYSIS: THE MARKET FOR BEANS IN SUD-EST DEPARTMENT OF HAITI microREPORT #164 DISCLAIMER The author’s views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the United States Agency for International Development or the United States Government. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report analyzes the beans market system in the Sud-Est (Southeast) department of Haiti in March-April 2010, several months after the January 12 earthquake in Haiti. This market system was selected for its importance as both a source of income and as a staple food in Sud-Est and throughout Haiti. The report finds there are two main constraints in the beans market system: a lack of purchasing power among Sud-Est households and a lack of cash and assets among beans growers, which limits ability to buy bean seeds and may lead to a supply shortage later in the year if not addressed. Additionally, several earthquake-related disruptions to key services and infrastructure, such as transportation and storage, persist. Food aid has increased significantly and may also contribute to decreased demand. Recommended short-term interventions include seed distributions, scaling down food distributions, and cash-based programs to improve buying power of affected households.

Climate Change Resilience: the Case of Haiti EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
OXFAM RESEARCH REPORTS MARCH 2014 CLIMATE CHANGE RESILIENCE The case of Haiti BHAWAN SINGH/MARC J. COHEN University of Montréal/Oxfam America Natural and human-induced hazards (storms, floods, and droughts) have highly destructive impacts on buildings, land, water, livestock, and people in Haiti. The poorest Haitians, including low-income women, children, and elderly people, are especially vulnerable. There is already evidence of climate change, including higher mean temperatures and altered rainfall patterns. Without adaptation actions, climate change is likely to magnify the damaging effects of hazards and to increase poverty. Resilience-building measures include flood control, integrated river basin management, reforestation, promotion of wood-energy alternatives, adoption of new crop varieties and farming practices, reduction in cultivation of steep slopes, and creation of non-farm livelihood options. The prospects for climate change resilience are now intricately tied to post- earthquake reconstruction. As Haiti turns its attention to preparing for more disasters and rebuilds significant portions of its infrastructure, there is a real opportunity to integrate climate resilience into these efforts. But Haiti faces serious governance, capacity, and finance challenges. Capacity is weak because of a lack of sensitization to climate change, inadequate technical knowledge, and meagre finances. It is essential to disseminate information about climate change and variability and their impacts in order to press leaders to incorporate climate change resilience into development plans and policies. Oxfam Research Reports are written to share research results, to contribute to public debate and to invite feedback on development and humanitarian policy and practice. They do not necessarily reflect Oxfam policy positions.

Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) Has Not Been Activated in Response to Hurricane Matthew
Haiti – Hurricane Matthew Final ETC Situation Report #4 Reporting period 11/02/17 to 31/03/17 The Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) has not been activated in response to Hurricane Matthew. As global lead of the ETC, the World Food Programme (WFP) is convening the Haiti ICT Working Group, collaborating with government, private sector and humanitarian partners on the ground to ensure a coordinated response. Highlights The ETC Services for Communities project in Haiti was successfully concluded on 29 March. This project included the restoration of 4x radio stations in the most affected areas of Grand’Anse and Sud, improving the ability of community radio stations to transmit important, localised messages and invite increased community dialogue on humanitarian issues. The Haiti ICT Working Group was officially deactivated at the end of March 2017. Situation Overview Category-4 Hurricane Matthew violently struck southwestern Haiti on 4 October 2016 bringing heavy rainfall in the south, southeast and the north-west, and creating the largest humanitarian emergency in the country since the 2010 earthquake. Six months on, the emergency response is coming to an end with the focus shifting to early recovery across all sectors. It is essential to continue supporting the ongoing self-recovery efforts, including strengthening the capacity of affected communities to face the coming hurricane season. The Haiti ICT Working Group refurbishing the community radio station in Petit Trou des Nippes. To support affected populations and in line with Photo: WFP/Haiti the ETC2020 strategy, the Haiti ICT Working implemented the Services for Communities project in Dame Marie, Petit Trou des Nippes, Tiburon and Anse d’Hainault.

WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT of HAITI August 1999
WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT OF HAITI August 1999 Haiti Dominican Republic US Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District and Topographic Engineering Center Water Resources Assessment of Haiti Executive Summary Haiti is one of the most densely populated countries in the world and one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. The population has already outstripped domestic food production, and it is estimated that the population will be 8 million by the year 2000. One-third of the population lives in the Département de l’Ouest where Port-au-Prince is located. Heavy migration from rural areas to towns and cities occurring over the past decade has adversely affected the distribution of the water supply. Access to water and sanitation facilities is inadequate, contributing to poor living conditions, disease, and a high mortality rate. In 1990 only 39 percent of the 5.9 million residents had adequate access to water and only 24 percent to sanitation. The lack of potable water for basic human needs is one of the most critical problems in the country. Given the rainfall and abundant water resources, there is adequate water to meet the water demands, but proper management to develop and maintain the water supply requirements is lacking. However, the water supply sector is undergoing complete transformation. Although currently there is no comprehensive water policy, progress is being made towards establishing a national water resources management policy. Numerous agencies and non-government organizations (NGO’s) are working to provide water, many of which conduct their missions with little or no coordination with other agencies, which creates duplication of work and inefficient use of resources.
