Haiti is committed to implementing a monitoring, evaluation and accountability mechanism and set up a digital tool to improve the quality and reliability of nutrition data and services

Coverage for the management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) remains limited. It is carried out in 715 out of 1,007 structures, including 34 nutritional stabilisation units (USN), 386 outpatient therapeutic programmes (PTA) and 295 supplementary nutrition programmes (PNS). The ‘cascade’ method will be prioritised both for the provision of services and for data collection. The capacity of statisticians and epidemiologists at central and departmental levels and of data clerks will be strengthened to improve the completeness and timeliness of data.

At the same time, a situation room in each of the 10 departments and the establishment of sentinel sites at health institutions will make it possible to monitor the programme and the quality of care provided according to trends identified through analysis of the data received. Dropouts as well as deaths will allow us to measure the performance of the programme against the Sphere objectives.

From the application of District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2) at the community level, we will know how populations living in difficult-to-access areas benefit from the preventive and curative care available.
