This technical note encompasses Haiti's gender assessment, evaluates the success of gender specific actions implemented between 2011-2017, and presents a Gender and Transport Action Plan (GAP). The GAPs main aim is to guide investments in Haiti's transport sector in conceptualizing and designing gender-sensitive transport projects. By proposing specific gender actions and outcomes, the GAP establishes a clear path to integrate a gender dimension into operations design, implementation and, monitoring and evaluation.

The Integrating Gender and Nutrition within Agricultural Extension Services (INGENAES) project is funded through the Bureau for Food Security (BFS) of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to support the Presidential Feed the Future Initiative, which strives to increase agricultural productivity and the incomes of both men and women in rural areas who rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.

Haitian women are often silenced and burdened by the intersectionality of social, economic, and environmental oppressions. In Cap-Haitien, and much of rural Haiti, women and men are bilateral actors. It is estimated that nearly three quarters of the Haitian people reside in rural areas and work (both formally and informally) as peasant farmers. Since the 1950s, the environment in Haiti has been overseen by the Ministry of Environment whose fundamental mission is to reduce environmental vulnerability.
