Localisation

Location: Dakar (Senegal), with possible travels to Port-au-Prince (Haiti) Starting Date: 15/06/2026.

Ranked 163rd out of 191 on the Human Development Index (HDI), Haiti is experiencing a deterioration of its socio-economic, political and security context, which has recently contributed to exacerbating structural issues. This deterioration is reflected in particular by the impoverishment of households, driven by a particularly high rate of price inflation in a country that depends on imports for 60% of its food supply, as well as by rising insecurity. Initially concentrated in certain neighbourhoods of Port-au-Prince, the activities of armed gangs have intensified and spread across most of the metropolitan area (ZMPAP), as well as into departments such as Artibonite, thereby exposing a significant proportion of Haitian households to abuses and internal displacement. Haiti is one of the 10 countries in the world most exposed to natural disasters. The 2021 earthquake, which struck Haiti on 14 August, had devastating effects on the livelihoods of the population and on the country's infrastructure. Furthermore, throughout 2022, social unrest stemming from the fuel crisis and the cost of living swept across the country.
