PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Entrepreneurs in rural Haiti are taking action to end malnutrition in their communities, with the support of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Fondasyon Kole Zepòl (Fonkoze) through the Aksyon Kominotè nan Sante pou Ogmante Nitrisyon (AKSYON or Community Health Action to Improve Nutrition) programme. This year alone, the programme has screened nearly 75,000 children for malnutrition in all of Haiti’s ten Departments, including 138 communes, 591 communal sections and 5,285 localities.
US Ambassador accredited to Haiti, Michele Sison declared: “The AKSYON programme not only helps fight and prevent malnutrition throughout Haiti, it also creates opportunities for the community health entrepreneurs to grow their own businesses while making a difference in their neighbourhoods.”
