    GIEWS Update – The Republic of Haiti, 7 December 2022
    Acute food insecurity surges at unprecedented levels
    2022
    Also available in:

    Between September 2022 and February 2023, about 4.7 million people are projected to experience high levels of acute food insecurity. Economic contraction, sociopolitical instability and worsening insecurity has gradually deteriorated the food security situation in the country. The cholera outbreak is likely to hit vulnerable populations who are already facing food insecurity, and humanitarian assistance is urgently needed to save lives.

    GIEWS Update - The Republic of Haiti
    Food insecurity severely deteriorating in southern parts of the country
    2021
    Also available in:

    A 7.2-magnitude earthquake and a tropical depression have caused losses of lives and severe damages to infrastructure in Sud, Grand’Anse, Nippes and Sud-Est departments. The food insecurity situation, which has been steadily worsening since 2018 amid the economic downturn and socio-political turmoil, has deteriorated significantly due to losses of livelihoods caused by the natural disasters. In the four affected departments, about 980 000 people are estimated to be severely food insecure between September 2021 and February 2022, about 45 percent of the local population. It is also likely that stored crops have been lost, while the 2021 second season maize and bean crops have been affected by flooding and landslides.

    In response to a request from Members, FAO developed the surveillance evaluation tool (SET) in 2017 to assess animal disease surveillance systems and provide country-specific recommendations for improvement. SET has been largely used in Africa under funding by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to guide capacity-building activities related to animal disease surveillance. Following its successful implementation in project countries, the tool was made available to other countries and region under specific funding. A re-evaluation mission to the United Republic of Tanzania was conducted in November 2020 in close partnership with the country’s veterinary services. This was the first SET re-evaluation done, and the country was the first to pilot the tool in 2017. Findings from the missions and recommendations were compiled in a report that can be used by governments and partners to identify priority areas to improve animal disease surveillance in the United Republic of Tanzania.
