Emergency food production support for vulnerable families in Haiti

Emergency programme implemented by FAO in ten municipalities across the Haitian departments of Artibonite, Centre and Ouest to restore local food production and meet urgent needs. The first phase reaches 13,000 vulnerable households, representing approximately 65,000 people. With funding exceeding USD 16 million, the programme is expected to ultimately support 326,000 people by providing farming households with more than 205 tonnes of crop and vegetable seeds and over 160,000 small livestock. The second phase will distribute ducks, poultry, guinea fowls, rabbits and goats to more than 29,394 households to facilitate immediate access to food and protein, protect livelihoods and reduce reliance on recurring humanitarian assistance.
