November 2022 – On October 2, after more than three years without cases, Haiti reported cholera cases in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince. Since then, the disease has spread considerably to other regions of the country. As of November 14, according to the Pan American Health Organization, there have been more than 7,500 suspected cholera cases. Furthermore, this cholera resurgence is happening in a complex operational context, with rampant insecurity, access constraints, and insufficient infrastructures to meet humanitarian needs. With GAC’s support and other donors, the United Nations Children’s Fund provides additional water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) support to crisis-affected people in Haiti. Project activities include: (1) deploying WASH mobile teams to highly affected areas; (2) conducting awareness raising or hygiene promotion activities; (3) distributing medical and water, hygiene and sanitation kits; and (4) distributing supplies to improve access to safe drinking water.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased awareness and knowledge of hygiene practices; (2) reduced risk of cholera and other waterborne diseases; and (3) increased access to safe drinking water. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
