Mise à jour des messages clés Janvier - Mai 2026 Les gains sécuritaires restent limités et sans effet réel sur l’insécurité alimentaire Download the report
  • Malgré des certaines évolutions positives découlant de l’intensification des opérations des forces de l’ordre contre les gangs, les gains sécuritaires restent limités et insuffisants pour freiner la recrudescence des violences armées et des enlèvements, continuant d’alimenter ainsi une insécurité alimentaire de Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) et d’Urgence (Phase 4 de l’IPC) à travers le pays. Plusieurs quartiers de la Zone métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince (ZMPP), notamment Cité Soleil, Croix-des-Bouquets, Port-au-Prince et les sites de personnes déplacées internes (PDI), demeurent en Urgence (Phase 4 de l’IPC), tandis que la majorité des zones rurales reste en Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC).
  • La pression sur les ménages urbains pauvres et les populations déplacées s’intensifie dans ce contexte. Les ménages pauvres recourent de plus en plus à des stratégies d’adaptation négatives, notamment la réduction du nombre de repas, l’endettement, la mendicité, la vente d’actifs productifs et la migration interne. Ces stratégies contribuent au maintien des résultats de Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) et d’Urgence (Phase 4 de l’IPC) dans les zones susmentionnées et devraient se généraliser pendant la saison de soudure, de février à juin.
  • Les affrontements entre groupes armés et forces de sécurité, à travers des opérations ciblées, l’usage d’armes lourdes et d’explosifs, continuent de perturber la mobilité, les marchés et l’accès aux services essentiels. Le contrôle territorial étendu exercé par les gangs limite les flux commerciaux, réduit l’activité économique et restreint durablement l’accès aux moyens d’existence, tout en alimentant de nouveaux déplacements internes. Selon l’OIM, les violences armées survenues le 8 janvier 2026 dans plusieurs quartiers de Port-au-Prince ont déplacé environ 5 836 personnes, majoritairement accueillies par des familles hôtes ou installées dans des sites existants, avec des concentrations dans les communes de Port-au-Prince (42 pour cent), Delmas (29 pour cent) et Cité Soleil (28 pour cent).
  • La campagne agricole d’hiver (pois Congo, sorgho, haricot et maïs) se déroule dans un contexte de contraintes sécuritaires persistantes, et de difficultés économiques accrues. Dans plusieurs zones (Bas Artibonite, Bas Plateau, Ouest en particulier Montrouis, Arcahaie, et la ZMPP), le manque d'accès régulier aux terres agricoles, aux intrants et aux marchés à cause de l’insécurité a réduit les superficies emblavées pour la campagne d’hiver, limitant aussi le potentiel de production. Les récoltes attendues entre mars et mai devraient être inférieures à la moyenne, ce qui diminuera les revenus agricoles et la disponibilité alimentaire des ménages, tout en prolongeant la dépendance aux marchés entre février et mai. Parallèlement, la hausse des prix des intrants agricoles (semences, engrais, carburant), l’érosion du pouvoir d’achat des ménages, l’accès limité au crédit, et le manque des revenus agricoles des effets résiduels de l’ouragan Melissa, en particulier dans le Grand Sud, limitent la capacité d’investissement des ménages agricoles et la reconstitution de leurs moyens de production.
  • Les prix des denrées alimentaires de base demeurent atypiquement élevés et continuent de limiter fortement l’accès économique à l’alimentation pour les ménages pauvres. En décembre 2025, malgré une relative stabilité économique mensuelle dans la plupart des marchés, les prix des produits alimentaires locaux et importés restent largement supérieurs à la moyenne quinquennale, avec des fluctuations allant jusqu’à 130 pour cent au-dessus de la moyenne quinquennale, selon les produits et les marchés. Cette stabilité des prix, soutenue par un taux de change relativement stable autour de 130 HTG/USD, ne se traduit pas par une amélioration de l’accès alimentaire. Le pouvoir d’achat des ménages pauvres demeure sévèrement érodé, contribuant au maintien de résultats de Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) et d’Urgence (Phase 4 de l’IPC).

  • Despite some positive developments resulting from intensified law enforcement operations against gangs, security gains remain limited and insufficient to curb the resurgence of armed violence and kidnappings, driving Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes across the country. Several neighborhoods in the Port-au-Prince Metropolitan Area (ZMPP) — notably Cité Soleil, Croix-des-Bouquets, Port-au-Prince, and sites hosting internally displaced persons (IDPs) — remain in Emergency (IPC Phase 4), while most rural areas remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3).
  • Pressure on poor urban households and displaced populations is intensifying. Poor households are increasingly resorting to negative coping strategies, including reducing the number of meals, borrowing, begging, selling productive assets, and internal migration. These strategies contribute to the persistence of Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes and are expected to become more widespread during the lean season, from February to June.
  • Clashes between armed groups and security forces, involving targeted operations and the use of heavy weapons and explosives, continue to disrupt mobility, markets, and access to essential services. Expanding territorial control by gangs limits trade flows, reduces economic activity, and restricts access to livelihoods, while also fueling new internal displacement. According to the International Organization for Migration, armed violence on January 8 in several neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince displaced approximately 5,836 people, most of whom were hosted by families or settled in existing sites, with concentrations in the communes of Port-au-Prince (42 percent), Delmas (29 percent), and Cité Soleil (28 percent).
  • The winter agricultural season (pigeon peas, sorghum, beans, and maize) is unfolding amid persistent security constraints and worsening economic conditions. In several areas including Lower Artibonite, Lower Plateau, and the West (particularly Montrouis, Arcahaie, and ZMPP), lack of regular access to farmland, inputs, and markets due to insecurity has reduced area planted for the winter season, limiting production potential. Harvests expected between March and May are likely to be below average, reducing agricultural incomes and household food availability, while prolonging dependence on markets between February and May. At the same time, rising prices of agricultural inputs (seeds, fertilizer, fuel), erosion of household purchasing power, limited access to credit, reduced agricultural incomes — along with residual impacts of Hurricane Melissa, particularly in the Grand Sud — are constraining agricultural households’ capacity to invest and to rebuild their productive assets.
  • Prices of staple foods remain atypically high and continue to severely limit economic access to food for poor households. In December 2025, despite relative month-on-month economic stability in most markets, prices of both local and imported food commodities remained well above the five-year average, with fluctuations reaching up to 130 percent above the five-year average, depending on the product and market. This price stability, supported by a relatively stable exchange rate of around 130 HTG/USD, has not translated into improved food access. The purchasing power of poor households remains severely eroded, contributing to the persistence of Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes.
