Haiti receives 28.1 million euros to support 15,000 farming families

The second phase of the Multisectoral Food and Nutritional Security Program (PMSAN II) has been launched in Haiti to combat acute food insecurity. Funded by a 28.1 million euro grant from the European Union and the French Development Agency (AFD), the initiative aims to support 15,000 farming families, benefiting over 60,000 people in the communes of Léogâne, Grand-Goâve, and Petit-Goâve.

The program, supervised by the Haitian state with assistance from local agricultural offices, intends to revitalize local harvests, preserve rural household incomes, and create 3,000 temporary jobs in the agricultural sector.

This intervention comes as data from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) indicates a severe crisis. Between March and June 2026, approximately 5.83 million people in Haiti—52% of the evaluated population—faced acute food insecurity, with nearly 1.9 million individuals in an emergency situation (Phase 4). The crisis is driven by armed gang violence, decreased vegetable production, and road blockages that prevent goods from reaching markets.
