WFP in Haiti: Information Booklet, March 2025

This edition of WFP's Information Booklet covers developments to March 2025. The IPC analysis for September 2024 to February 2025 still finds 5.4 million people, half the population, acutely food insecure (IPC Phase 3+), the worst figures since the 2010 earthquake, with 2 million in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and 6,000 in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5). Internal displacement passed 1 million people by December 2024, 9 percent of the population and more than triple the December 2023 level, with 261,000 in Port-au-Prince. A peak in violence in November 2024 closed the capital's airport and led the US Federal Aviation Administration to ban flights to Haiti except Cap-Haïtien; UNHAS has since been a lifeline for humanitarian movement in and out of Port-au-Prince.

Over the full year 2024, WFP supported 2 million people with 3.2 million hot meals, 12,604 mt of food and USD 54 million injected into the Haitian economy, comprising USD 34.5 million in cash-based transfers and USD 14.4 million of food purchased from smallholder farmers, up from USD 8.4 million in 2023. Other figures reported include 761,131 households registered in SIMAST (33 percent of the population); nearly 160,000 people receiving monthly cash transfers across WFP's safety-net programs, including 110,000 through ASPIRE, with digital delivery at 76 percent; 528,000 schoolchildren fed in the 2024-2025 school year so far, with 364,320 receiving home-grown, locally sourced meals; 19,970 people (99,850 with families) engaged in resilience rehabilitation projects for USD 4.8 million, with satellite monitoring confirming 90 percent of assessed assets still visible and maintained; 8,397 households (41,985 people) covered by micro-insurance after WFP suspended and is redesigning the Artibonite component following beneficiary feedback; and 261,000 specialized meals for infants and young children distributed in 2024 in displacement sites. The office needs USD 51.2 million to continue operations for the next six months, through August 2025.
