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 women and lactating women ( FEFA ) and malnourished children or at risk of malnutrition in the Metropolitan Area from Port au Prince ( ZMPP ).
The’ team SI is mobilized since 2023 for a response EAH (provision of’eau, waste management, latrine constructions, etc, awareness-raising and distribution of hygiene kits) on 6 sites of displaced persons in the communes of Port-au-Prince and Delmas via funding from’UNICEF and CDCS. SI has also obtained funding from IOM to do CCCM on these 6 IDPs sites. As part of the CDCS SI project, EHA infrastructures have 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’octobre, SOLIDARITY INTERNATIONAL, in collaboration with the Haitian authorities, followed the national cholera control strategy with a double approach “punch” (control) and “bouclier” (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.
