Pression des personnes déplacees sur Gonaïves - projet 024 ammendée HAÃTI : La prochaine urgence LUnion Européenne finance depuis mai 2009 un projet dappui à la sécurité alimentaire et à lamélioration des moyens de vie des populations rurales dans cinq communes du Département du Nord Est. Le contexte du projet a changé considérablement le 12 janvier 2010: le tremblement de terre qui a causé plus de 600 000 personnes déplacées vers toutes les régions rurales, abritant déjà avant la catastrophe près de 65 % de la population du pays en situation dinsécurité alimentaire. Sans remettre en cause les objectifs du projet dans les communes du Département du Nord-Est, il est proposé quune réallocation partielle du budget total du projet soit opérée afin détendre sa mise en Åuvre dans dautres régions du pays. Les fonds réalloués seront canalisés vers des localités indirectement affectées par le séisme dans le département dArtibonite, surtout pour : â¢La fourniture dintrants agricoles (semences, outils agricoles) ; â¢Lappui à lagriculture urbaine et périurbaine (distribution de récipients pour micro jardins, substrat, semences, outils) ; â¢Lassistance technique pour accompagner les bénéficiaires pendant toutes les phases de la production agricole ; â¢Contribuer à lévaluation post désastre dans le Département de lArtibonite qui est primordiale pour connaître dans le détail les impacts indirects du séisme dans la région ; La région de lArtibonite, déjà frappé par les ouragans en 2008 <b>...</b>
