Local organisations prepared for emergencies
The fund’s account of its 2023 work, written by Haiti programme officer Jo-Ann Garnier, described practical preparation. The Association des Femmes Handicapées du Sud and the Association des Handicapés du Nord Est developed emergency-management plans, alongside work to strengthen their organisations and sustain advocacy during instability.

Inclusive education remained on the agenda
The same report described APDIPHIS and RANIPH training stakeholders, including the education ministry, on inclusive education rights. CONAPH pressed for disability inclusion in humanitarian and climate responses. These activities put disabled people’s organisations into discussions about services and emergency planning, rather than treating their members only as recipients of assistance. [2]
Support continued through local groups
The fund’s later report on 2024 listed ten grants totalling US$301,100 for Haiti. It credited local partners with accessibility improvements in public spaces, training on inclusive data collection and recommendations for national disaster-risk-reduction policy. The report presented these as achievements of grassroots organisations working through continuing disruption. [3]
