The degradation of Haiti’s environment and the vulnerable state of Haiti’s natural resources are widely acknowledged problems with deep intractable roots. Haiti’s forests are being degraded for several reasons including high demand for wood-based fuels, high population density, lack of resources in rural areas, and weak governance across the spectrum of institutions meant to define and enforce natural resources regulations. The breakdown of healthy ecosystems threatens Haiti’s ongoing efforts to develop its economy and improve food security, and increases vulnerability of the natural resource base and communities to shocks. The USAID Reforestation Project will address these development challenges through a targeted approach in line with Haiti and the US governments’ environment and food security strategies, and the USAID Climate Change and Development Strategy.

The USAID Reforestation Project is a program funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Haiti and implemented by Chemonics International Inc. USAID Reforestation Project, based in Cap-Haitien, is designed to address environmental degradation and loss of tree cover in the North and North East departments of Haiti. The project will support interventions to:

• Reduce the threat of deforestation
• Improve environmental governance and coordination
• Increase tree cover in targeted areas
• Improve resilience to economic and natural shocks

The project will plant more than 5 million trees, convert 15,000 hectares of deforested land to agroforestry, and conserve more than 850 hectares of mangrove forest.
