Over 5.94 million people (53 percent of the analysed population) in Haiti are experiencing IPC Phase 3 or above (Crisis or worse) between September 2026 and February 2027. Of these, 1.8 million people (16 percent) are facing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) conditions—concentrated in areas affected by insecurity, displacement and economic marginalisation. 

Escalating insecurity remains the primary driver, displacing populations and disrupting livelihoods, agricultural production and markets. Economic decline, high food prices and weak purchasing power continue to constrain access to food, alongside El Niño-related climate shocks. 

Food insecurity is projected to worsen from March–June 2027, with 6.35 million people (57 percent) expected to face Phase 3 or above, including nearly 2 million people projected to be in Phase 4. Reduced humanitarian assistance and the continued impacts of insecurity, displacement, economic hardship and climate shocks are expected to further erode household coping capacity. 

• Emergency interventions: Given the severity of food insecurity in Phase 4 areas, humanitarian assistance should be urgently scaled up to meet immediate needs, protect livelihoods, and prevent harmful coping strategies.
• Livelihood support: Sustain and expand livelihood support for households affected by recurrent shocks. Priorities include agricultural inputs, credit, equipment, extension services, and support for agricultural and fisheries value chains in rural areas, alongside cash assistance, food aid, and livelihood support for vulnerable urban households.
• Expansion of social protection programmes: Strengthen and expand social protection systems through the establishment of a unified beneficiary registry that can serve as a common platform for coordinated, multisectoral, and sustainable interventions.
• Link emergency and development: Align emergency and development interventions by accelerating implementation of the Food Security Crisis Preparedness Plan (FSCPP) in shock-prone areas to target communities in Phase 3 or above and strengthen resilience.
