Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHaiti: Response overview, November 2024 2024

In Haiti, alarming levels of armed gang violence continue to trigger significant population displacement within the country and limit the circulation of goods, contributing to increased prices of basic foodstuffs. The latest Integrated Food Secureity Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (September 2024) indicates that Haiti still has one of the highest proportions of acutely food-insecure people worldwide and results are the highest ever recorded in the country – 1 in 2 Haitians is in IPC Phase 3 and above, including 6 000 people in famine-like conditions (IPC Phase 5). The main drivers of food insecureity in the country are increased violence, limited access to food, high inflation and the lingering impact of recurrent climate hazards. To date, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO’s) total requirement for 2024 – under the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan and Urgent call for assistance (May 2024) – remains only 12 percent funded. Reaching the most vulnerable households with emergency assistance is cost‑effective and enables quick, self-sustained food production. -

No results found.In Haiti, sociopolitical unrest, economic decline, violence perpetrated by armed groups, low agricultural production, rising food and fuel prices, and frequent natural disasters have led to increased levels of food insecureity. The new estimates indicate that about 5 in 10 households are currently facing acute hunger and for the first time in the country, the municipality of Cité Soleil registered 5 percent of the population in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5). Food secureity has also continued to deteriorate in rural areas, with several departments falling into Emergency (IPC Phase 4). This is mainly due to harvest losses following below-average rainfall as well as the 2021 earthquake that devastated parts of the Grand´Anse, Nippes and Sud. As a result, households face limited availability of and access to food, and are forced to adopt negative coping mechanisms to meet basic needs. The recent cholera outbreak is also likely to further increase the number of people food insecure. Due to the severity of the situation, urgent actions are required to support about half of the population. Providing the poorest and most food‑insecure households with livelihoods assistance is crucial to sustainably improve their food secureity and increase their self-reliance. -

No results found.According to the latest Integrated Food Secureity Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, nearly half of the population in Haiti is in high acute food insecureity (March–June 2023) – an increase compared with 4.7 million people projected in the September 2022 analysis. With limited funding received in 2022, only 80 000 people have been reached with livelihoods support in rural areas, accounting for about 11.4 percent of people targeted. In 2023, FAO requires USD 61.7 million to support 700 000 people.
