ACT Appeal

Haiti - LAHT41, REVISION 1

Relief to Victims of Civil Unrest

Geneva, 24 March, 2004

Appeal Target: US$ 782,031
Balance Requested from ACT Alliance: US$ 688,031

On 22 March 2003, Appeal LAHT-41 for Relief to Victims of Civil Unrest in Haiti was issued. It included the proposal from the Lutheran World Federation/World Service (LWF/WS), together with its implementing partners.

This revision is to include the proposal of ACT member Christian Aid (CAID), who together with its implementing partners is working in the North West part of the country. This region has been one of the most isolated and neglected parts of Haiti with 81% of its population living in absolute poverty. Access to basic services is very limited. The region faces serious environmental degradation and suffers from repeated drought and occasional flooding. Successive harvests in recent years have been lost and fodder for animals is no longer available. In many cases, seeds that should have been used for planting this current season have been consumed.

During the recent crisis, the region was cut off from the capital and the rest of the country. The town of Gonaives, which is on the main road to the north, has been under the control of rebels since 5 February 2004. This has resulted in the interruption of food, fuel, medicines and other essential goods, leading to increased prices and placing additional strains on the already fragile food security in the area. CAID are therefore proposing to intervene in the current crisis through:

  • Food and nutritional assistance
  • Health assistance
  • Food security

For the sake of brevity this revision includes the Christian Aid (CAID) revised proposal only. Please note that the review-capacity assessment component has been revised and it is also included in this revision. For information on the LWF program please refer to the original appeal which remains unchanged.
