The University of Reading has partnered with the World Food Programme (WFP) in Haiti to train communities using the Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA) approach.

This includes choosing the right livelihood strategies and management practices based on their specific local conditions. Caroline serves as a primary intermediary between international, national, and local partners while working across English, French, and Haitian Creole. She leads a needs assessment, supports refresher training sessions for trainers and a mixed-method evaluation of farmer resilience, reporting on results to inform donor and partner decision-making.
