USAID/Haiti Strategic Framework Gender Analysis
- Financial limitations are a major constraint to healthcare access, disproportionately impacting women.
- Long distances and poor road quality hinder healthcare access for both women and men.
- Women may avoid facility births due to fear of neglect and isolation.
- COVID-19 has decreased the use of maternal health facilities.
- GBV services lack coordination and are insufficient to address health needs.
This report presents a countrywide gender analysis undertaken to inform the USAID/Haiti 2020–2022 Strategic Framework (SF) and the mission’s programs, projects, and activities.

This report addresses the following crosscutting themes: gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response; women’s economic empowerment (WEE); resilience; humanitarian assistance; governance; self-reliance, locally-driven development; and COVID-19. It also addresses key populations, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and intersex (LGBTI) persons, persons with disabilities, youth, and urban and rural populations.
