Updated National Food and Nutrition Security Plan (PNSAN)
- The October 2009 final PNSAN update presents Haiti's national food and nutrition security framework after the 2008 food-price crisis and hurricanes.
- The process was led by CNSA with PFNSA and support from ministries, CISA, FAO, ALCSH and civil-society groups.
- Haiti's food-insecure population was estimated to have declined from 3.0 million in April 2008 to 2.8 million in April 2009, but remained high in hard-to-reach areas of Nord-Ouest, Artibonite, Sud-Est, Grand'Anse and Nippes.
- Between 2003 and 2005, national production averaged 43.09 percent of food availability while food imports averaged 50.58 percent.
- The plan identifies agriculture and environment, crisis management and social protection, employment and financial services, fiscal and trade policy, governance and right to food, health and nutrition, and education as intervention axes.
- The implementation framework includes strategic, administrative and operational levels, with an eventual Office National de Securite Alimentaire role.
This is the final October 2009 version of the update to Haiti's National Food and Nutrition Security Plan, produced by MARNDR through the Coordination Nationale de la Sécurité Alimentaire. It sets out the context and justification for the update and the methodology used, then diagnoses the sectors bearing on food security: the state of food insecurity itself, followed by axis-by-axis diagnoses of agriculture, environment, food-crisis management and social protection, and employment, the cooperative movement and financial services. Issued in the year after the 2008 food-price riots and before the 2010 earthquake, it is the standing national food-security framework of that period and the policy backdrop to the CNSA bulletins and food-basket series.
