Gender and Resilience
TECHNICAL BRIEF Gender and Resilience How Inclusive Participation in Cattle Management Strengthens Women’s Resilience in Northern Haiti Authored by Jennifer Plantin, with contributions from Carole Pierre and Evelyne Sylvain Photo by Djimmy Regis, November 2020. Pictured: Vital Sefina from APROLIM in Limonade Haiti This brief is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents are the responsibility of Chemonics International Inc. and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. 1 USAID/HAITI REFORESTATION PROJECT APRIL 2021 Introduction Women in Haiti are often at social, political, and economic disadvantages compared to their male counterparts, as evidenced by Haiti's ranking in the Gender Inequality Index (152 out of 162 countries) (UNDP, 2020). The gap is especially significant and consequential for rural women who engage primarily in subsistence farming with little to no access to or control over productive assets and financial services. The patriarchal system that persists today exacerbates these entrenched disparities, especially in rural Haiti. These challenges make women more vulnerable to the many shocks Haiti continues to experience, such as food insecurity, natural disasters, climate change, political instability, and economic shocks. One emerging opportunity to improve livelihoods and bolster household resilience while mitigating climate change is inclusive livestock management. International development

Overview of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake
Overview of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake a) b) Reginald DesRoches, M.EERI, Mary Comerio, M.EERI, c) d) Marc Eberhard, M.EERI, Walter Mooney, M.EERI, a) and Glenn J. Rix, M.EERI The 12 January 2010 Mw 7.0 earthquake in the Republic of Haiti caused an estimated 300,000 deaths, displaced more than a million people, and damaged nearly half of all structures in the epicentral area. We provide an overview of the historical, seismological, geotechnical, structural, lifeline-related, and socioeco- nomic factors that contributed to the catastrophe. We also describe some of the many challenges that must be overcome to enable Haiti to recover from this event. Detailed analyses of these issues are presented in other papers in this volume. [DOI: 10.1193/1.3630129] INTRODUCTION On 12 January 2010, at 4:53 p.m. local time, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the Republic of Haiti, with an epicenter located approximately 25 km south and west of the cap- ital city of Port-au-Prince. Near the epicenter of the earthquake, in the city of Le´ogaˆne, it is estimated that 80%–90% of the buildings were critically damaged or destroyed. The metro- politan Port-au-Prince region, which includes the cities of Carrefour, Pe´tion-Ville, Delmas, Tabarre, Cite Soleil, and Kenscoff, was also severely affected. According to the Govern- ment of Haiti, the earthquake left more than 316,000 dead or missing, 300,0001 injured, and over 1.3 million homeless (GOH 2010). According to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) the earthquake was the most destructive event any country has experienced in modern times when measured in terms of the number of people killed as a percentage of the country’s population (Cavallo et al.

The designations employed and the presentation of material in the report do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. www.haiti.humanitarianresponse.info Part one: Summary Humanitarian needs & keyfigures Impactofthecrisis Breakdown of people in need Severity of need 03 People in need 2.1M PART I: HUMANITARIAN NEEDS Humanitarian NEEDS& KEY FIGURES The humanitarian situation in Haiti has deteriorated considerably in 2015 due to the convergence of multiple humanitarian risk factors. 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.
