The narrative will be modified in the following ways:

The International Organization on Migration (IOM) in Haiti has a five-year grant from USAID/Haiti's

Economic Growth Office to provide jobs for vulnerable populations in six "hot-spot" areas of Haiti: Port-au-

Prince, Les Cayes, Petit Goave, St. Marc, Gonaives and Cap Haitien.

Rapidly rising food prices are compounding the already chronic food insecurity for the 80% of Haitians that

have less than $2.00 a day to spend on life's necessities.

In addition to this, IOM's PREPEP/PEPFAR program will put $1,000,000 into the IOM PREPEP job creation

and infrastructure improvement program to allow persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and their families

as well as families caring for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) to take part in the program. The cash

income will allow these families to purchase food while building agricultural and other infrastructure

improvements.

These activities will result in an additional, long-term impact on household food security and production.

Examples of IOM's PREPEP/PEPFAR activities are:

- improved family garden plots

- irrigation canals

- soil conservation structures

- road, bridge and canal rehabilitation

- other public infrastructure

Les Cayes and Cap Haitien will be the target communities for IOM PREPEP/PEPFAR activities.

famiies to purchase food and the agricultural infrastructure improvement activities for which they will get

their day labor salaries (improved family garden plots, irrigation canals, soil erosion control structures,

garden terrassing on hill-sides and ravines) will result in a more long-term impact on household food

production.
