THE MISSION
During the year 2023, Solidarities International has strengthened its presence in the ZMPP with an operational coordination in Port-au-Prince.
A project is implemented thanks to the financial support of the Interministerial Committee of Food Aid (CIAA) within the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince (ZMPP) in order to contribute to strengthen the food security of the difficult neighborhoods of Jalousie (common Petion-Ville) and this, despite the’ growing insecurity thanks to the use of electronic coupons with monetary value. Faced with the alarming deterioration of food security and the increased insecurity’ in recent months, SI continues to favour the use of the Red Rose system to cover the urgent food needs of households, which aims to contribute to the fight against’food and nutritional insecurity of vulnerable households and more specifically Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women (FEFA) and malnourished or at risk of malnutrition children in the Metropolitan Area of Port au Prince (ZMPP).
The SI team has been mobilized since 2023 for an EAH response ( water supply, waste management, latrine constructions, awareness and distribution of hygienic kits ) on 6 sites of displaced persons in the municipalities of Port-au-Prince and Delmas via funding from UNICEF and CDCS. SI also obtained funding from IOM to make CCCM on these 6 IDP sites. As part of the CDCS SI project, EHA infrastructure has also been rehabilitated in 3 schools in the city of PaP.
Since 2022, our teams have responded to the resurgence of the cholera epidemic. From October, SOLIDARITIES INTERNATIONAL, in collaboration with the Haitian authorities, followed the national cholera control strategy with a double approach “ punch ” ( control ) and “ shield ” ( prevention ).
In February 2024, Solidarities International submitted an ECHO project with its local partner ORRAH for an emergency response in Protection and Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (EHA) to address the critical humanitarian needs of displaced populations and Host Communities (CH), including, resulting from the violence of Organized Criminal Groups (CCOs) and their increasing control over the country. Within the ZMPP, the action will propose an integrated and multisectoral approach on 9 sites of displaced persons and their respective CHs, with the aim of reducing i) the risks of protection, and in particular gender-based violence (GVB) and ii) health risks of spreading waterborne diseases.
