Tuesday July 2nd, 2024, Vernet Joseph, Minister of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development spoke by videoconference, with those responsible for the World Bank, of the "Resilient Agriculture and Food Security Program" (PARSA) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-36204-haiti-world-bank-donation-of-us$132-million-for-haitian-agriculture.html and the "Productive and Resilient Territories" Program (TPR) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-32144-haiti-agriculture-success-of-the-1st-phase-of-the-resilient-productive-territories-project.html

Let's remember that these two projects, financed by the World Bank to the tune of 200 million US dollars, are taking place in 5 departments: Grand-Anse, South, Nippes, Center and North-West.

While the closing date of PARSA is set for February 26, 2027, TPR activities will end on November 30, 2024. Should be noted that a process for formulating a new TPR project (TPR II) in the Nippes department is already underway. initiated.

During the discussions, Minister Joseph managed to reach an agreement with the World Bank team for a financial agreement with these projects, to carry out specific actions to mitigate the effects of food insecurity in certain municipalities of the country, in perfect coherence with the Government's 100-day program.

These actions essentially aim to reduce food insecurity in 40 municipalities classified in "Food emergency phase" by the National Food Security Coordination (CNSA) at the level of the 5 departments mentioned above.

A working group was formed to materialize this initiative, in particular through an operational action plan accompanied by specific costs.
