Narrative Project Activities and Results Project Summary In response to the impact (deadly flooding and mudslides and causing catastrophic damage to houses, infrastructure, crops, and water and sanitation systems) of Hurricane Mathew, a Category 4 hurricane that made landfall in Haiti on October 4, 2016, CARE coordinated with partners Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Mercy Corps, Food for the Hungry, and ACTED to implement a six-month cash-based response across 18 communes in the Grande Anse, South, and Nippes Departments. CARE’s Food for Peace funded response aimed to increase access to food and other basic goods/services across 18 communes through two main components: 1) one cycle of cash transfers for 102,748 households; 2) two cycles (10 days/each) of cash-for- work (CFW) transfers for 19,265 households. CARE and its partners implemented the project activities alongside three microfinance institutions - Fonkoze, the Le Levier Federation, and SogeExpress; collectively, these actors are referred to as the “Ansamn Nap Kanpe Ak Diyite” (“Recovering Together with Dignity”) (ANKAD) Consortium. The cash transfer amount per beneficiary household was set at 4,000 Haitian Gourdes (the approximate equivalent of $60/month); this amount was calculated based on the standard set by the World Food Program (WFP) and represented approximately 60% of the average monthly food basket. A report published in December 2016 by the Government of Haiti’s National Food Security Coordinator (CNSA) indicated that two in five households were food insecure, with a risk of becoming severely food insecure by June 2017 in the event of insufficient external support. Throughout the life of the project, a direct cash-based response remained the most appropriate strategy to provide emergency assistance to households that did not have reliable support in the wake of the hurricane and were facing food shortages in the following months due to shortages of seeds and other resources for planting in the winter and spring seasons.

From November 2016 to January 2017, the ANKAD Consortium worked with local authorities and community leaders to form Commune Coordination Committees (CCC). The CCCs conducted a census of all residents in the selected communes. An analysis of the lists was then conducted by ANKAD members, where the vulnerability of households was assessed based on a specified vulnerability criteria; specifically households that: had experienced a death within the household; were female- headed; contained a pregnant or lactating woman; contained a person with a disability or an elderly person; whose house was partially or fully destroyed by the hurricane (where houses that were fully destroyed were considered more vulnerable than those that were partially destroyed). Each criterium was assigned a number of points; using this system, households with the highest number of points were considered the most vulnerable and were therefore included in the cash transfer list. ANKAD partners then selected the 80% of the population that was considered most vulnerable to receive unconditional cash transfers. Meetings were held with communities prior to beneficiary selection and voucher distributions to explain the beneficiary selection process, cash distribution procedures, the schedule for payment days, and complaints mechanisms including the complaints hotline number. Cash distributions: The ANKAD Consortium fully completed direct cash transfer activities between January and June 2017, as follows: 5 Hurricane Matthew Emergency Response, AID-FFP-G-17-00003 Submission: November 6, 2017 CARE: CARE was assigned four of the 18 targeted communes: Chambellan, rural Jérémie, Moron, and Roseaux, totaling 25,803 households.
