WFP continued to deliver assistance to Haitians as well as services to the humanitarian community and scaled up its operations, increasing the number of beneficiaries reached compared to 2020 from 1 million to 1.3 million. The increase in beneficiaries was due to an expansion in emergency food assistance programme. Given that needs will rise in 2022, WFP Haiti expects that beneficiaries will increase as well.
In 2021, WFP supported the Government with humanitarian and development interventions to address the root causes of hunger. Compared to 2020, WFP doubled the emergency support through cash and food. The school feeding programme provided daily meals to 293,582 children, whereas the home-grown school feeding programme, which connects to local markets and producers, reached 86,000 children.
