Review of Food for Peace Market-Based Emergency Food Assistance Programs: Haiti Case-Study Report
- FFP effectively provides multiple and blended food assistance modalities.
- FFP's Kore Lavi program serves as a model for the national social protection program.
- Cash transfers and vouchers are effective modalities for addressing food insecurity.
- The lack of a disaster preparedness law in Haiti is a significant obstacle to food assistance programming.
- A centralized database would help organizations identify target audiences across the board while also allowing flexibility to modify beneficiary lists.
This report presents a case study of Food for Peace (FFP) market-based emergency programs (MBEP) in Haiti from fiscal years 2010 to 2016. The review assesses the historical narrative of FFP's market-based emergency food assistance, program design and implementation, cost-efficiency trends, and developmental impacts on local economies and market actors. It considers multiple emergencies in Haiti, including the 2010 earthquake, Hurricane Tomas, Hurricane Sandy, the multi-year drought, and Hurricane Matthew, and concludes with recommendations for FFP regarding effective practices and areas for modification.
