Upscaling Community Resilience Through Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction in Haiti - Case Study

This case study highlights Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) interventions in Haiti focused on ecosystem restoration and protection in 3 municipalities: Chardonnieres, Les Anglais, and Tiburon in the South district of Haiti. The key risks being addressed within this context are flooding, landslides, and food insecurity. To address this, the project aims to strengthen community resilience to disasters and climate change, through the adoption of demonstrated best practices by farmers and landowners in three municipalities. Specifically, the project seeks to strengthen integrated risk management and inclusive risk governance by supporting development and scaling up of Eco-DRR actions and citizen-based monitoring of disaster and climate resilient policies and practices and mainstreaming youth engagement and gender considerations.
