UNSDCF Outcome 1 Legitimate and accountable institutions guarantee the rule of law, good governance and respect for human rights.
Through its normative mandate, UN Women continues to demonstrate its commitment to strengthening national institutions to ensure the rule of law, good governance, and respect for human rights. In line with its portfolio, UN Women Haiti contributed in 2024 to building the capacity of key institutions to address critical issues. The Haitian National Police (PNH) has been strengthened to improve the identification and more objective documentation of various forms of violence, such as rape, electoral violence, physical violence, and psychological violence. This progress has been made possible thanks to a tailored tool developed with the support of UN Women, distributed support materials, and the training of 50 senior-ranking PNH officers as trainers. Today, a dedicated PNH unit focuses specifically on cases of gender-based violence (GBV). The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) has also been reinforced and sensitized on the identification and reporting of electoral violence against women (VEFE) . Additionally, the media , a key pillar in raising awareness about violence, has been strengthened to promote women’s rights and address electoral violence. A total of 150 journalists (70 men, 80 women) were trained, leading to the creation of an association of journalists committed to raising awareness about prevention, reporting, and supporting victims of violence. This initiative encourages responsible citizen behavior, urging individuals to report cases of violence in their communities and provide support to victims. These efforts reflect UN Women Haiti's unwavering commitment to strengthening national institutions and fostering a culture of accountability, equality, and respect for human rights. By equipping key stakeholders such as the PNH, CEP, and the media with the necessary tools and knowledge, UN Women is laying the groundwork for sustainable change. These initiatives not only address immediate challenges but also contribute to the broader goal of building a more just, inclusive, and equitable society in Haiti.

UNSDCF Outcome 4 The population, particularly vulnerable and marginalized groups, has better access to equitable, inclusive and quality basic social services, that place emphasis on the respect for human rights, gender equality, and the inclusion of the persons with disabilities to contribute to strengthening the social contract.
Women in Haiti, particularly those who are vulnerable and/or from marginalized backgrounds, have benefited from protection through projects implemented by UN Women partners. These women have been sensitized to the prevention of gender-based violence (GBV) and, in cases where they were victims of violence, have received legal, medical, and psychological support. In 2024, UN Women directly reached 280883 direct beneficiaries and 603780 indirect beneficiaries through awareness and direct services. Direct beneficiaries include: Filles (0-17 ans) Jeunes Femmes (18-29 ans) Femmes (18 ans+) Garçons (0-17) Jeunes hommes (18-29) Hommes (18+) LGBTQ 40521 42316 113371 17196 21390 42274 3815 The mental health project funded by the Peace Building Fund (PBF) , along with 12 other protection-focused projects financed by the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) , have facilitated women's access to basic social services. These initiatives focus on respecting human rights, promoting gender equality, and including persons with disabilities. Key Strategies were used to achieve results: Training Key Sectors : Capacity-building sessions were conducted for critical actors such as the Haitian National Police (PNH), journalists, judges, and psychological/mental health service providers. These trainings focused on GBV prevention and survivor care. Development of GBV Reporting Tools : Tools for collecting and documenting GBV complaints were developed and operationalized. Implementation of Online Support Tools : The creation of the mobile application ALO-TOYA , adapted to the crisis context limiting movement, has facilitated online support and monitoring for women in distress. Establishment of Safe Spaces : Safe spaces have been made available for women survivors of GBV to access protection and support. Economic Empowerment for Resilience : Women’s economic empowerment was reinforced to reduce their vulnerability to GBV. This included initiatives aimed at promoting autonomy and sustainable livelihoods. Support for Displaced Women : Emergency kits and other forms of assistance were provided to displaced women to address their immediate needs. This integrated approach ensures that women not only receive critical protection services but are also empowered to break cycles of vulnerability and dependency. The combination of targeted awareness campaigns, practical tools, and survivor-centered services reflects UN Women’s commitment to advancing gender equality and safeguarding women’s rights in Haiti.

UNSDCF Outcome 3. A new inclusive, equitable economic model, vector of new investments, growth and sustainability, favourable to the rapid creation of decent jobs with a focus on young people and women, capable of substantially reducing poverty and inequalities, is formulated, approved and implemented.
Thanks to economic empowerment projects funded by the Government of Norway and the Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF), women in Haiti, particularly in the departments of the South, Southeast, Grand’Anse, and Nippes, have been empowered and are now better positioned economically. Strategic partnerships with organizations working under the mandate of empowerment and economic recovery, such as UNIQ (Université Quisqueya) , FED (Femmes en Démocratie) , ADRINA (Appui aux Initiatives des Femmes Leaders Haïtiennes) , CAPAD (Confédération des Associations des Producteurs Agricoles pour le Développement) , POFHAD (Plateforme Organisations de Femmes pour le Développement) , and RANIPH (Réseau Associatif National pour l’Intégration des Personnes Handicapées) , under the leadership of UN Women Haiti and in collaboration with key government structures such as the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, MCFDF (Ministry for Women’s Affairs and Women’s Rights), and the Ministry of Environment, have strengthened women in economically promising sectors adapted to their local realities. These sectors include fish farming, vegetable cultivation, livestock farming techniques, and sustainable agriculture. Women are also better supported thanks to platforms like KREDI Fanm and MUSOs (Mutual Solidarity Groups), which provide them with easier access to credit, enabling them to invest in their economic activities. These platforms also allow women to share experiences, network effectively, and improve the marketing of their products. Young graduating students and young professionals are not excluded from these empowerment opportunities. Through key platforms such as the Salon du Droit (Rights Fair) and the Salon de l’Emploi (Job Fair) with ATREPA (Atelier de Travaux de Recherches Économiques pour Mieux Préparer l’Avenir) , these young women are informed of recruitment opportunities, trained on how to write their CVs, and prepared to compile their professional dossiers, thus facilitating their integration into the labor market. They are also informed of opportunities to create small and medium-sized enterprises with financial and technical support from UN Women . Key statistics to highlight: 908 people , including 87 men and 108 people with disabilities (65 women, 43 men), were trained in key areas of the Haitian economy. 200 women received funds for economic recovery and the consolidation of women’s micro-businesses. 50 women benefited from agricultural credit. 155 women received seeds to initiate or strengthen their agricultural production. 100 women and girls in the third communal section of Les Cayes received livestock as part of a livestock reinforcement program. Beneficiaries committed to passing on young goats to other women to expand the chain’s impact. 72 women with disabilities , or mothers of persons with disabilities, launched income-generating activities—40 in Grand’Anse and 32 in the South—through the distribution of food or cosmetic products by partner organizations. These results illustrate a positive and sustainable transformation for Haitian women. By enhancing their economic capacities and autonomy, these initiatives go beyond reducing inequalities: they lay the foundation for an inclusive, equitable, and resilient economic model, capable of contributing to the country’s overall development.
