The Haitian food pyramid was originally designed and implemented by the Ministry of Public Health and Population in 2005 in collaboration with the World Bank and the World Health Organization (WHO).

In 2015, the Ministry of Health requested assistance from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with a view to updating the food pyramid with the latest data and disseminating it through the National territory.

The new food pyramid reflects national recommendations for food practices for Haitians over two years of age. The images seek to promote health and rely on locally grown foods and global scientific data.
