n 2018, WFP supported the Government of Haiti by humanitarian interventions and sustainable solutions to hunger and malnutrition across eight activities. Most of the interventions were integrated into broader social safety protection programmes, contributing to Government ownership and long-term food sovereignty. Due to Haiti’s continuous exposure to natural hazards, disaster management and preparedness is a priority. WFP continued to provide direct life-saving assistance to shock-affected populations, using the strategically located contingency stocks. In addition, WFP built capacities for disaster risk reduction and resilience to future shocks. WFP implemented various activities using cash-based transfers in highly food insecure areas (IPC 3 and 4), benefiting 5,500 families. WFP strengthened the link between its school meals programme, local markets and smallholder farmers. In 2018, around 350,000 children received school meals, sometimes complemented with local produce thanks to the contribution of parents and communities. WFP procured over 50 percent of the food for school feeding locally and doubled the size of its Home-Grown School Meals (HGSM) programme that works with local farmers and directly purchases food from nearby markets to reach 30,000 children. WFP also worked with communities identified using the Three-Pronged Approach (3PA), which allows for better ownership and more efficient design of resilience building assets. Almost 15,000 families were involved in these activities. The focus was on creating assets dedicated to irrigation and water management.
