Description (French)
Mars 2019 - Environ 2,6 millions de personnes en Haïti nécessiteront de l’aide humanitaire en 2019, majoritairement affectées par l’insécurité alimentaire aigüe. L’épidémie de choléra qui perdure demeure également une importante menace pour des centaines de milliers de familles. De plus, la fragilité économique et les tensions socio-politiques affectent la capacité de la population à accéder aux services de base et ont contribué à perpétuer une situation de crise humanitaire
Avec l’appui d’Affaires mondiales Canada, Médecins du Monde Canada contribue à réduire la morbidité et la mortalité liées à l’épidémie de choléra. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) fournir un appui à la réponse d’urgence aux flambées de choléra et au déploiement des équipes médicales d’urgence; 2) renforcer les capacités des autorités sanitaires pour la prévention et une prise en charge de qualité des maladies diarrhéiques; 3) renforcer le système de surveillance épidémiologique et d’alerte précoce aux flambées.
Expected Results
The project's expected immediate outcomes include: (1) increased access to timely and quality outbreak management services; and (2) increased capacity for diarrhoeal disease outbreak management and epidemiological surveillance.
Expected ultimate outcome: lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity preserved in countries facing humanitarian crisis or acute food insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Parmi les résultats immédiats escomptés du projet : 1) accès accru à des services de prise en charges rapide et de qualité en cas de flambée; 2) capacité accrue de gestion des flambées de maladies diarrhéiques et de surveillance épidémiologique.
Résultat ultime escompté : vies sauvées, souffrances atténuées et dignité humaine préservée dans les pays en proie à une crise humanitaire ou à une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
