Study of the Impacts of COVID-19 and Other Recent Shocks in Haiti
 This study looks at the impact of recent shocks on poor households in three communes in Haiti, where the former Kore Lavi Development Food Assistance Project (DFAP) was implemented. Coordinated by the Implementer-Led Evaluation & Learning (IMPEL) award and funded by the USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, this mixed-methods study examines the capacities and strategies these households have used to mitigate challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent crises.
