Resumen
Descripción
Following the 2010 devastating
earthquake and subsequent cholera epidemic, Port-au-Prince’s
residents have been increasingly affected by food
insecurity, socio-economic unrest including periods of
complete lock-down, and gang violence. In light of the
insecurity which limits the possibilities to collect the
necessary information to target the vulnerable residents of
Port-au-Prince, this paper aims at providing meaningful
evidence to inform the remote targeting and delivery of a
potential social assistance program. Putting together
household and geospatial data, we compute a composite
vulnerability indicator for the metropolitan area, offering
a first snapshot of inequality and vulnerability within the
city, and discuss the results’ implications for social
protection programming.
