Solidarity International is a humanitarian association that works with vulnerable populations, mainly victims of armed conflict and natural disasters. Specialized for more than 40 years in the coverage of vital needs, it supports emergency and reconstruction programs.
The project of Solidarity International (SI) in France helps people in precarious situations living in precarious’habitats sites (such as slums or squats) around Toulouse, Lille, Nantes, etc, Marseille and’en Ile-de-France and Mayotte. The difficulties of the target audiences are characterized by the barriers that’s encounter to access essential services (in particular the products of’ maintenance and’ hygiene as well as access to’au) and by conditions of’habitat highly degraded not allowing decent living conditions due to’a very degraded environment. SI meets the needs of the populations targeted by the’installation of’infrastructures of’access to drinking’,’sanitary infrastructures and the distribution of hygiene kits.
THE MISSION
Haiti is a country largely exposed and vulnerable to climate hazards. Since 2004 a total of 49 natural disasters have hit the country, and this trend is confirmed in 2020, with a record of 30 systems named in the North Atlantic’.
The’alternation of the phenomena El Nino and La Nina as well as the effects of global warming directly impacts Haiti, so repeated drought episodes limit access to the’au, a, both for the consumption of the populations and their flocks, but also for’ irrigation.. In addition, the cyclonic seasons put the country on alert more than 4 months a year. The mission is positioned on two axes : Emergency responses and projects to strengthen the resilience of communities or local actors in the field of HAE and food and nutrition security. This is mainly in the area of Port au Prince, in neighborhoods where internally displaced people or very vulnerable people live, in a security context requiring a fine access strategy and daily security management.The mission receives institutional funding from the CDCS, ECHO, UNICEF, PAA and is working on other options in consortium with health or protection actors for a better integrated approach.
In addition to climate hazards, Haiti is facing a governance crisis with the delivery of deficient and very low quality public services.
The Haitian context is therefore the regular theater of emergency responses’, conducted in parallel with more sustainable’actions. Responding to immediate needs provides relief to the population in the’ intervention areas, while longer-term projects aim to sustainably improve their resilience and/or prevent risks.
Also, the strategy of Solidarities International is part of a reflection of’integration and link between development and action of’urgence, particularly adapted to the dynamics of the Haitian crisis aimed at strengthening the capacities of local actors while equipping’sa solid capacity of intervention in case of emergency in a tense security context where the negotiating access is an essential key.
