Emergency Coordinator – Haiti

CESVI has a long-standing presence in Haiti since 2009, supporting vulnerable populations affected by natural disasters, food insecurity and repeated crises. Over more than a decade, its portfolio has spanned emergency response, food assistance, livelihoods recovery and resilience building, with a strong concentration in the southern departments of the country. Following Hurricane Matthew in 2016, CESVI implemented ECHO-funded emergency and early recovery actions in the South, combining cash assistance, agricultural inputs, livestock support and disaster risk reduction activities, reaching more than 12,000 people.

This was complemented by a series of food security and livelihood interventions funded by WFP, UNDP, the Kellogg Foundation and UN Women, particularly in Grande Anse, the South and the Pestel, Corail, Beaumont and Aquin areas, focusing on nutrition, agricultural resilience, women’s economic capacities and community-based planning.
