HAITI

Our response

In response to the earthquake, The MENTOR Initiative is implementing a programme to reinforce the Ministère de Santé Publiqueet Population (MSPP) and humanitarian partners' responses in Haiti by establishing a large scale vector borne disease control program for the most at risk survivors of the earthquake. We are working with Programme National de Contrôlede la Malaria et FilariasisLymphatique" (PNCM) and the Direction de Promotion de la Santeet Protection de l'Environnement(DPSPE) to help them rebuild their capacity to respond to the crisis and to plan ahead. The response package of interventions has been developed, tried and proven by The MENTOR Initiative in Aceh, following the tsunami and in Burma following cyclone Nargis and is designed to be easy to scale up according to the level of funding and commodity resources available. The emergency response required can be considered in a two part response of vector control and case management
