In 2018, our 45-strong team (96% in-country nationals) managed a budget of €880K. Programmes concentrate on basic humanitarian needs, community preparedness and resilience. Recent years have also seen operations grow to include Sustainable Livelihoods. What we do in Haiti Emergency Response Resilient Health Sustainable Livelihoods Covid-19 Response Emergency response and preparedness in Haiti GOAL launched an Emergency Response programme immediately following the earthquake in 2010. This saw the distribution of food and emergency shelter, followed by the implementation of a $13.5 million shelter, WASH and cash-for-work programme. GOAL continues to meet the humanitarian needs of vulnerable populations in Haiti. As a country prone to natural disasters, we are committed to building community resilience so that people are better equipped to prepare for, and withstand, such shocks. This is done by providing technical assistance within communities and facilitating urban landscaping and planning at neighborhood level. GOAL is also working to strengthen early warning response systems through our Analysis of Resilience of Communities to Disasters (ARC-D) model. Our achievements Immediate emergency response following the 2010 earthquake and Hurricane Matthew in 2016. 2,000 transition shelters for 10,000 people built by 2012. 585 families moved to safer homes in 2012 and 385 returned to repaired homes in 2013.
