Presbyterian World Service and Development is supporting Partners In Health Canada with a humanitarian nutrition response in Hinche and St. Marc Haiti. This project seeks to deliver a package of evidence-based services for the treatment of acute malnutrition in the communes of Hinche and St. Marc. Food insecurity and malnutrition are driven by many factors in Haiti including poor infant and young child feeding practices; lack of access to clean water and sanitation; high unemployment; and poverty. COVID-19 has also resulted in fewer sources of income for households. The intervention, which ultimately strives to avert malnutrition-related death among children aged 0-59 months, is focused on strengthening nutrition treatments through active case-finding of acutely malnourished children; community-based management, including provision of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF); and inpatient treatment of children with severe acute malnutrition with medical complications (SAM/MC). As this is a continuation of an existing intervention supported by Foodgrains Bank (project 2747), the priority will be to maintain and enhance the existing intervention’s programmatic and health gains. The project aims to reach 23,809 individuals
