Haiti

Country Overview

In 2025, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimated that 6 million people in Haiti would have humanitarian needs. The growing number of people in need reflects the challenges faced by Haitians, including the persistence of violence, political and social instability, and exposure to climate hazards. Violence perpetrated by armed groups has led to the mass displacement of civilians and has contributed to pushing nearly half of Haiti’s population into acute food insecurity.

Since its return to Haiti in 2020, IMPACT, through its REACH initiative, has been conducting humanitarian research projects to support coordination efforts and provide reliable and timely evidence.

In 2025, under the mandate of the Inter-Sector Coordination Group (ISCG), REACH notably facilitated for the fourth time in Haiti a Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) among households from the general population, covering the entire country, with the aim—among others—of informing the Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC) for 2026.

What is the Acute Needs Analysis (ANA)?

The ANA is a humanitarian research pilot project designed to identify populations facing urgent, life-threatening needs.

It seeks to bring these populations to the attention of humanitarian decision-makers—especially in contexts where information is scarce or fragmented.

All analysis is conducted by dedicated, country‑based analysts with deep contextual expertise, ensuring robust support for humanitarian prioritization across and within crises.
