The USAID/Haiti Feed the Future Programme d’appui à la rentabilisation de l’élevage (PARE) is a
five-year activity implemented by Land O’Lakes Venture37. The PARE activity aims to improve
the resilience capacities to enable households and communities to withstand recurrent shocks
and stresses, while helping them experience increased food security. The purpose of PARE is to
increase the resilience of households and communities in the Northern and Southern Resilience
Focus Zones through the improvement of the livestock market system. Its three main objectives
are to:
1) Improve productivity of the livestock sector in the resilience focus zones;
2) Increase the accessibility of inputs and services in the livestock market system; and
3) Improve marketing and private sector engagement in the sector.
The activity aims to advance livestock production (cattle, poultry, goats, sheep, eggs, and dairy)
market systems and to diversify incomes to increase the resilience of communities in two
Resilience Focus Zones (RFZ) - one is located in the southern region (South Department) and
the other in parts of the north (North, Northeast and Plateau Central Departments). The Activity
will address key opportunities and constraints to increase livestock productivity, facilitate private
sector engagement, and manage environmental and natural resource considerations. PARE will
build upon lessons learned from past USAID and other donor funded activities and will coordinate
closely with existing and planned USAID and other development partner programs and will align
with the Government of Haiti’s priorities.
