Haiti

Complete

In late 2000, USAID/Haiti, through a team composed of the USAID Mission and cooperating sponsor representatives responsible for the implementation of Title II food assistance in Haiti, contracted with TASC/JSI to lead a participatory impact evaluation of the second phase of the Enhanced Food Security Program (EFSII). This evaluation aimed to provide recommendations to improve the impact, particularly in the area of primary education, through the future use of food assistance resources.

Since 1958, under PL 480, substantial contributions of food aid have been provided to Haiti. Title II development-assisted food aid currently focuses on five areas: primary school feeding; maternal and child health and nutrition; food-for-work activities to support the construction/rehabilitation of infrastructure and water systems; income-generating activities; and the provision of supplementary food to institutionalized populations, principally orphanages.
