World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

Three years after the earthquake, important progress has been achieved on the recovery front, but a drought, tropical storm Isaac and hurricane Sandy have devastated harvests and Haiti is struggling with the first major food security crisis since the earthquake — this time in rural areas. This report summarizes the results of the joint worked carried out by the government, donors, partners and WFP since 2010 to date.

From school meals to working with poor farmers, WFP is helping Haitians to increase their food security and strengthen their resilience. Working with the government, local authorities, UN and NGO partners, WFP's programme provide food assistance to 1.7 million Haitians.

The Haiti Country Portfolio Evaluation (CPE) encompasses the 14 World Food Programme (WFP) operations that were active between May 2005 and December 2010.

Given the extraordinarily challenging operating environment in Haiti over the period of evaluation, the Haiti CO has had some remarkable successes.  In addition to recurring natural disasters, WFP Haiti has been faced with other destabilizing factors such as civil and political unrest which characterized the period 2005-2008, the food-fuel-financial crisis of 2007 - 2008, and the coinciding launch of the WFP new strategic plan.  In the midst of this instability, coupled with the complexity of operating within an integrated mission, WFP Haiti has made great strides in partnering with the government and in meeting the changing needs of the Haitian people, both during the response phase as well as during development and recovery.

Given the nature of the Haiti country portfolio, WFP’s role in relation to SO1 has been of primary importance and is the area where WFP is strongest.  The challenge that WFP faces in the more targeted activities is in balancing corporate and government priorities, especially in a volatile post-emergency context.
