Head of Mission – Haiti
Code: 27_2016 HoM Haiti
Location: Port au Prince with periodic visits to Les Cayes – Haiti
Closing date: 17/07/2016
Duration: 8 months (renewable)
Work context
Cesvi has been working in Haiti since 2009, implementing its projects in the field of emergency, children’s rights, food security and watershed management in the South, North and West departments.
Currently actions are concentrated in two areas of Haiti: Port-au-Prince (PAP) and Les Cayes.
In PAP Cesvi supports the House of Smiles opened in 2010 at Wharf Jérémie, a disadvantaged neighbourhood of Cité Soleil (PAP), which offers recreational activities and psychological counseling to children and teenagers. Despite it being inside a formal school, the House of Smiles is open to all those interested in additional lessons and after-school recreational activities. Thanks to the participation of other institutions and NGOs, the House of Smiles has become a reference point for the awareness of the whole community. Cesvi in February 2016 started the project “Emergency Response and Resilience building: an integrated approach to improve food security in Haiti”. The project will be implemented in 3 communal sections in the area of Aquin, selected due to the emergency situation characterized by severe drought, low farming productivity and a possible increase of an already high food insecurity level. The beneficiaries will be 2.300 households who present high food insecurity index and high rate of negative coping strategies. At the same time Cesvi will address families with disabled or with limited mobility people as well as families headed by women. The action aims at linking emergency interventions to resilience building, with the objective to improve food security conditions of vulnerable households affected by drought.
