  • 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

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.
