Abattoirs et bateaux de pêche pour des communes du Sud

Thanks to financing from the MINUSTAH, the townships of Moron and Chamberlain, in the department of the Grande Anse (south of the country), are given each a new slaughterhouse. In the same way, with the construction of a cold room and the concession of four boats by the NGO Food for the Poor to the township of Abricots, as well as the construction of a "fishing village" in the township of Bonbon, the fishing activity in these areas have taken a new flight.

Grâce au financement octroyé par la MINUSTAH, les communes de Moron et de Chambellan, dans le département de la Grand'Anse (Sud du pays), sont dotées chacune d'un nouvel abattoir. De même, avec la construction d'une chambre froide et l'octroi de quatre bateaux par l'ONG « Food for the Poor» à la commune d'Abricots, ainsi que la construction d'un « village de pêcheurs » dans la commune de Bonbon, l'activité de pêche, dans la zone, connaît un nouvel essor.

Eighty percent of the 8.7 million Haitians live in poverty and 54 percent live in abject poverty, according to the CIA's World Factbook. Certain analysts have suggested that the demonstrations resulted mainly from the lack of response from the government concerning this widespread problem. This stance has been taken by the country's business community. The Haiti Chamber of Commerce has reiterated today that it was unfortunate that the governme...

How Aid in Cash, Not Goods, Averted A Famine In Somalia

“ Increasingly, it became clear that a new flow of international aid, cash, and not goods, worked to mitigate the risks of an immediate famine. For now, in spite of acute risks in some parts of the country, Somalia has successfully averted a food crisis,” How Aid in Cash, Not Goods, Averted A Famine In Somalia 08 September - Source: IPS News - 594 Words In February, when the government of Somalia sounded an alarm to the UN about risks of a famine in the country, the UN’s Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), besides quickly shuffling a response team, was acting from a steep sense of history.
