SAGA 2 in Haiti
Haiti, as a small island developing state (SIDS), is one of the country's most vulnerable to climate change, with 96% of its population exposed to climate shocks,leading to increased food insecurity. As a historical partner of the project, Haiti, through SAGA 2, is intensifying its collaboration to implement its climate objectives related to its agricultural adaptation.
SAGA 2 project supports the implementation of the priorities outlined in Haiti’s National Adaptation Plan 2022-2030 and the adaptation component of the 2022 revised Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for the agricultural sectors.
