The following analyses are based on data collected in 2024 and early 2025 from face-to-face interviews with 7,763 randomly selected beneficiaries from WFP's pre- and post-emergency household surveys in 8 departments (47 municipalities) of the country. Two-thirds of beneficiaries received cash and one- third received in-kind food assistance. This analysis examines the parameters and context of the assistance to understand its impact on beneficiaries' food security and to identify options for improving implementation.
Background
The WFP's emergency operations in Haiti are aimed at assisting food-insecure populations, particularly those in IPC4+ phase (emergency or worst case of food insecurity) throughout the country, as well as displaced persons. This population receives three or four cycles of food or cash assistance worth $100 or $120 per month, as well as meals for internally displaced persons. These interventions are also designed to be deployed following sudden climatic crises (floods, cyclones, among others).
This requires considerable flexibility in the programming ofemergency operations, in particular with regard to the choice of the most appropriate modality, the transfer mechanisms and the number of distribution cycles. Many of these programmatic parameters have an impact on the objective, so it is important to regularly monitor how these options could be optimised based on the results of their implementation in the local context, and to formulate operational recommendations to improve impact while remaining efficient in a context of reduced funding for humanitarian emergencies.
