Impact for

4,500 people directly

1,600 farms, 60,500 people indirectly, 40% are women and girls.

The Koridò Vèt (Green Corridor) project, implemented by the CECI-VTI consortium and their partners, mobilizes women's leadership in the Baradères-Cayemites Complex, located in southwestern Haiti, to strengthen their adaptation to climate change and that of their communities. By empowering them, the project fosters their involvement in implementing nature-based solutions, essential to addressing environmental challenges and building lasting resilience.

Objectives

1 / 3

Enhancing women's leadership in the face of climate change

Women, being the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, play a central role in the collaborative development of their communities. They actively participate in the adoption of nature-based solutions, strengthening their adaptation to climate change while preserving ecosystems and biodiversity.

Environmental commitment

The Baradères-Cayemites Complex, as a protected area, requires special attention. The Koridò Vèt project contributes to the protection, restoration, and sustainable management of ecosystems through nature-based solutions, promoting adaptation to climate change, the maintenance of ecosystem services, and biodiversity conservation.

Gender equality

Strengthening women's community leadership and economic empowerment helps reduce gender inequalities. By creating a more inclusive environment, the project encourages greater participation of women in local decision-making and facilitates the adoption of sustainable practices within communities.

A territory under environmental pressure

Between droughts and floods, fragile ecosystems

The Baradères-Cayemites Complex stretches from Petit Trou de Nippes (Nippes) in the East to Corail (Grand’Anse) in the West, in southwestern Haiti. This protected area faces prolonged droughts and frequent floods, reducing ecosystem services and compromising agricultural and forestry yields. These environmental pressures particularly affect women, who must travel longer distances to collect firewood and medicinal plants.
