Abstract:
Following the 12 January 2010 Haiti earthquake, teams of students and faculty members from the United States and Haiti surveyed 170 reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Port-au-Prince and Léogâne. This paper summarizes the survey results and compares them with results from a similar survey done after the 1999 earthquakes near Düzce, Turkey. The survey results demonstrate that the frequency of damage in RC buildings was higher in Haiti than in Turkey. This increased level of damage is consistent with practical screening criteria based on cross-sectional areas of building columns and walls. Based on these criteria, 90% of the structures surveyed in Haiti would have been classified as seismically vulnerable before the earthquake. Damage was more frequent in structures with captive columns. A two-tiered screening process is suggested to rapidly assess the vulnerability of scores of poorly built low-rise RC buildings in future earthquakes.

Abstract. This paper examines the ionospheric anomalies around the time of a strong earthquake (M = 7.0) which occurred in Haiti region (18.457° N, 72.533° W) on 12 January 2010. DEMETER satellite data have been used to study the plasma parameters variation during the Haiti earthquake. One day (11 January 2010) before the earthquake there is a significant enhancement of electron density and electron temperature near the epicenter. Decrease of electron temperature is observed few days after the earthquake. Anomalous plasma parameter variations are detected both in day and nighttimes before the quake. Statistical processing of the DEMETER data demonstrates that satellite data can play an important role for the study of precursory phenomena associated with earthquakes.

Abstract:
On 14 August 2021, an earthquake of moment magnitude Mw = 7.2 hit Haiti Island. Unfortunately, it caused several victims and economic damage to the island. While predicting earthquakes is still challenging and has not yet been achieved, studying the preparation phase of such catastrophic events may improve our knowledge and pose the basis for future predictions of earthquakes. In this paper, the six months that preceded the Haiti earthquake are analysed, investigating the lithosphere (by seismic catalogue), atmosphere (by climatological archive) and ionosphere by China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES-01) and Swarm satellites, as well as Total Electron Content (TEC) data. Several anomalies have been extracted from the analysed parameters using different techniques. A comparison, especially between the different layers, could increase or decrease the probability that a specific group of anomalies may be (or not) related to the preparation phase of the Haiti 2021 earthquake. In particular, two possible coupling processes have been revealed as part of the earthquake preparation phase. The first one was only between the lithosphere and the atmosphere about 130 days before the mainshock. The second one was about two months before the seismic event. It is exciting to underline that all the geo-layers show anomalies at that time: seismic accumulation of stress showed an increase of its slope, several atmospheric quantities underline abnormal atmospheric conditions, and CSES-01 Ne depicted two consecutive days of ionospheric electron density. This suggested a possible coupling of lithosphere–atmosphere and ionosphere as a sign of the increased stress, i.e., the impending earthquake.

Introduction: Partners In Health (PIH) is an international, non-profit healthcare organization with operations in several countries on multiple continents. PIH focuses on providing healthcare treatment to people living in some of the poorest places in the world, and has been operating in Haiti since 1985. At that time, PIH established a small community clinic in the central Haiti village of Cange. Today that facility has grown to become an entire medical complex, featuring a 104-bed, full-service hospital with two operating rooms, adult and pediatric wards, and clinics treating a variety of diseases and issues, from women's health to infectious diseases. In addition, Zamni Lasante ("Partners In Health" in Haitian Creyeol) has also expanded its operations to 11 other sites across Haiti's Central Plateau and beyond (Figure 1). Today, ZL ranks as one of the largest nongovernmental health care providers in Haiti - serving a catchment area of 1.2 million across the Central Plateau and the Lower Artibonite. ZL employs over 4,000 people, almost all of them Haitians, including doctors, nurses and community health workers (Zamni Lasante/ Haiti). From its beginnings 25 years ago, PIH/ZL has grown tremendously, and recent years have been no exception. Since 2004, patient encounters have increased almost threefold, from 0.9 million to 2.6 million, and the number of clinical sites has almost doubled. This growth has corresponded to an increase in drugs and supplies. In 2006, approximately 1000 m3 of drugs and supplies were moved through the system. Only two years later, in 2008, that number had more than doubled to 2200 m3 . This significant increase has greatly strained the underlying supply chain.

Abstract:
On January 12, 2010, the Caribbean nation of Haiti suffered from one of the most devastating earthquake in recent history. The purpose of this study is to explore representations of Haiti in Western news media coverage of the disaster. The researcher utilized Jiwani’s (2006) theoretical framework of common sense stock knowledge to explore the relationship between the Western news media and Haiti, with an emphasis on media framing. Additionally, the method of journalistic discourse analysis was employed as a means of analyzing the 90 article sample. The researcher found that there were several frames that dominated coverage of the disaster which resulted in the marginalization of Haiti and Haitians.

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to develop an alternative approach for the evaluation of humanitarian aid in order to make the gaps of the current approaches smaller. To do this, the thesis applies McConnell’s framework to the case of Korea’s response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake which has been already assessed by the DAC-OECD criteria, the dominant framework in the humanitarian sector. It thus explores three different dimensions of Korea’s response: process, programme and politics, and then determines the degree of success or failure of each dimension to investigate the validity and scope conditions of McConnell’s theory to the evaluation of humanitarian aid. This study affirms that McConnell’s theory helps us to alleviate the difficulties and complexities of the humanitarian evaluation. His theory provides a broader perspective on evaluating humanitarian aid by assessing three aspects of policy in which the political dimension was relatively well understood, and easily determining the degree of success or failure through the provision of detailed criteria and a five-level continuum from success to failure: success, durable success, conflicted success, precarious cusses and failure. It is thus possible to argue that McConnell’s theory alleviates the shortcomings of existing approaches for humanitarian evaluation by widening the scope of evaluation and specifying the degree of success or failure of humanitarian aid.

Abstract:

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the lived experience of suffering through the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The experiences of 13 individuals who lived suffering through the 2010 earthquake in Haiti were elicited. Heideggerian hermeneutical phenomenology served as both the guiding philosophy and methodology for this research study, while Eriksson’s (1981) theory of caritative caring provided the caring science lens. Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner’s (1989) seven-stage method of hermeneutical analysis provided the structure for data analysis. The relational themes that were interpreted were: Experiencing the Unimaginable, Awakening to a Changed Reality, Agonizing for Others, Compounding Losses, Finding a Way Forward, and Being Transformed. These six relational themes are illuminated and aesthetically re-presented in six watercolor paintings. The constitutive pattern Suffering With and For Others expressed the meaning of suffering for participants through the 2010 earthquake in Haiti as a lived experience.

Abstract:
La fréquence et l'intensité des catastrophes naturelles et écologiques sont à la hausse dans le monde entier. Jusqu'à 325 millions de personnes extrêmement pauvres vivront dans les 49 pays les plus à risques en 2030. Haïti, la seule nation dont la population esclave a vaincu une puissance coloniale pour devenir libre et deuxième plus ancienne république de l'hémisphère occidental, demeure le pays le plus pauvre d'Amérique latine et des Caraïbes et l'un des plus pauvres et faiblement gouvernés au monde. Basée sur une longue expérience de terrain pour collecter des données de première main, la présente thèse tente de faire la lumière sur la situation en Haïti après le tremblement de terre dévastateur de 2010, offrant quatre contributions sur les liens entre catastrophes naturelles, marché du travail et stratégies d'adaptation. Le premier chapitre présente un diagnostic de la situation du marché du travail en Haïti près de 3 ans après le tremblement de terre (2012) et la compare avec la situation qui prévalait 3 ans auparavant (2007), avec un accent particulier sur la jeunesse. Cette analyse descriptive offre un aperçu des tendances économiques générales. Dans les trois chapitres suivants explorent en profondeur les fondements microéconomiques et les canaux de transmission du choc. Le chapitre 2 analyse l'impact du tremblement de terre sur la décision des ménages concernant l'allocation du temps des enfants. Le chapitre 3 étudie les liens entre les transferts et l'offre de travail à la suite du tremblement de terre. Enfin, le chapitre 4 offre une analyse rigoureuse de l'impact durable du tremblement de terre de 2010 sur les conditions de vie et les moyens de subsistance de la population en utilisant des données longitudinales
Frequency and intensity of natural and environmental disasters are on the rise worldwide. Up to 325 million extremely poor people will be living in the 49 most hazard-prone countries in 2030. Haiti proudly claims to the distinction of being the only nation whose slave population defeated a colonial power to become free and the second-oldest republic in the Western Hemisphere, yet persists as the poorest country in Latin America and Caribbean region one of the poorest and weakly governed countries in the world. Output of both an extensive fieldwork and academic research, the present thesis attempts to shed some light on the situation in Haiti after the devastating earthquake, offering four insights on the interlinkages between natural disaster, labour market and coping strategies. The introductive chapter draws the general motivation and some background information common of the four essays of this doctoral work. The first chapter presents the most up-to-date diagnosis of the labour market situation in Haiti almost 3 years after the earthquake (2012) and provide whenever possible a comparison with the situation prevailing 3 years before (2007), with a specific focus on youth. This descriptive analysis offers an overview of the general economic trends. In the following three chapters, we explore in depth the microeconomic foundations and implications of channels at play. Chapter 2 analyses the impact of earthquake on the households' decision on children's time allocation. In chapter 3, we investigate interlinkages between transfers and labour supply in the aftermath of the earthquake. Finally, chapter 4 takes the analysis of the impact of the earthquake a step forward by using longitudinal data and focuses on the long-lasting impact of the 2010 earthquake on population's livelihoods

Abstract:
Cultural competence is critical to public service, yet it is often ignored and underutilized, especially in post-disaster response and recovery. The current literature on cultural competence and frameworks developed by the private sector do not fully consider the complexities of a post-disaster public service context. This project explores the importance of cultural competence in post-disaster response and recovery, identifies effective training methods and organizational policies which may present barriers to competence acquisition, and proposes a new theoretical framework by which to assess cultural competence in international response and recovery work. This study used focus groups with Haitian beneficiaries (n=7), in-depth interviews with response and recovery workers (n=50), close ended surveys with both groups (n=226), observation, and a review of secondary sources (e.g. job announcements, training manuals) to explore cultural competence from the perspectives of international response and recovery workers, their agencies, and Haitian beneficiaries after the January 2010 Haitian earthquake. The analysis revealed that although 88% of participating aid workers identified cultural competence (CC) as critical to program effectiveness, 42% had no training before or during deployment. An analysis of the job announcements revealed that only 37% of agencies required cultural competencies. While aid workers and beneficiaries identified experiential strategies (e.g. immersion, mentoring) as critical to cultural competence acquisition, organizational policies (e.g. curfews, restrictions on travel) were often found to be at odds with these methods and more than 1/3 of participating aid workers felt that these policies were a barrier to cultural competency. Findings from this study may help aid workers better understand the importance of cultural competence and how it can improve the effectiveness of aid programs, and provide ways in which aid agencies can enhance cultural competence acquisition by their employees.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Ruth McRoy
In January 2010, Haiti experienced a phenomenon no living Haitian had ever known. A devastating earthquake of 7.0 magnitude ravaged the already destitute island nation, killing over 230,000, leaving over one million living in tent cities or open spaces, and affecting millions of Haitians on the island and in the diasporas. This study examines the trauma and resilience of women who survived Haiti's 2010 earthquake and relocated to Boston, MA. A phenomenological qualitative design was used in this research in which 1-2 hour in-depth interviews were conducted with eight Haitian women who were living in Haiti and directly experienced the effects of earthquake. They all subsequently sought refuge from the destruction and chaos by coming to the U.S. This research aimed 1) to discover the culturally specific ways Haitian women survivors respond to trauma and exhibit resilience in the aftermath of a natural disaster and 2) to determine the factors that effect adjustment and wellbeing for Haitian women survivors in Boston. This inquiry was guided and informed by ecological resilience theory. A linguistically and culturally competent research team was formed in order to conduct the study in Haitian Creole, transcribe the narrative data, thematically code and analyze the data in the original language, and then provide clear translations that capture the meaning of the participants' narratives. Findings revealed that barriers such as unresolved legal status, financial stress, empathic stress, and family separation, threatened successful adaptation to their new reality. Ecological factors such as supports from friends, family and community organizations were found to promote resilience in the women survivors. Cultural values promoting connections to Haiti, the power of women, education, and spirituality, also served as motivating factors for acclimating to their relocation. The findings of this study suggest that social workers serving the relocated victims of the recent Haitian earthquake, recognize that the stress of family separation and the legal challenges of immigration, are major factors affecting the resilience of this population

Abstract:
Ce travail financé par l’Agence Nationale de Recherche (Projet ANR-10-HAIT-002 RECREAHVI : Résilience et Processus Créateur chez les Enfants et les Adolescents Haïtiens Victimes de Catastrophes Naturelles), porte sur les traumatismes et aménagements psychiques du peuple haïtien pour se reconstruire suite au séisme de janvier 2010 qui a ravagé plusieurs villes du pays et tué environ 2,5% de la population.Des études réalisées auprès des survivants suite à des évènements similaires dans d’autres pays ont montré d’importants effets traumatiques sur les populations. D’autres études ont aussi montré que les personnes touchées par des catastrophes (naturelles) ne présentent pas toutes des traumatismes et qu’au contraire, certaines arrivent à trouver les ressources nécessaires pour se reconstruire. La présente recherche avait pour objectifs d’étudier les conséquences traumatiques du séisme dans la population haïtienne et les stratégies qu’elle met en place pour y faire face et se reconstruire. Elle s’est basée sur une approche complémentariste articulant non seulement théories psychodynamiques des traumatismes et le modèle du Trouble de Stress Post-Traumatique (TSPT), mais aussi méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives, tout en tenant compte des particularités culturelles de l’expression traumatique et de la résilience.Un groupe de 872 enfants et adolescents (dont 56,30% de filles) avec un âge moyen de 14,91 (ET = 1,94) et 1355 adultes (dont 48,71% de femmes) avec un âge moyen de 31,57 années (ET = 14,42) ont été évalués à l’aide de questionnaires concernant les évènements de vie marquants, l’exposition traumatique, les symptômes de la détresse péritraumatique, du TSPT, de la dépression, le soutien social et la résilience. Des données qualitatives ont ensuite été recueillies à l’aide d’entretiens cliniques et de méthodes projectives (Rorschach et D10) auprès d’une vingtaine de sujets. Six études de cas choisis pour leurs particularités (amputation, dynamique du transfert et du contre-transfert) sont présentées dans ce travail.Deux ans et demi après le séisme, les résultats montrent des taux de prévalence élevés des symptômes du TSPT et de la dépression (respectivement 36,96% et 46,21% chez le groupe enfant/adolescent et 36,75% et 25,98% chez les adultes). Ils montrent également que le jeune âge, l’âge avancé, le sexe féminin, le chômage, le bas niveau d’éducation et les difficultés économiques sont les principaux facteurs de risque. Le degré d’exposition et la détresse péritraumatique sont les principaux facteurs prédicteurs des symptômes du TSPT et de la dépression. Les résultats de la phase clinique mettent particulièrement en évidence l’emboitement de traumatismes psychiques multiples qui s’expriment à travers des codes culturels, aux niveaux individuel, familial, communautaire et social.Cependant les résultats indiquent également que comparativement à d’autres pays ayant vécu des séismes similaires comme le Japon et la Chine, les enfants, adolescents et adultes haïtiens font preuve d’un niveau de résilience plus élevé à l’échelle de Resilience Scale traduite, validée et publiée en créole haïtien. Le soutien social étant le meilleur facteur prédicteur de la résilience, il a été observé que les survivants s’appuient sur un ensemble de tuteurs de résilience interconnectés comme la famille, l’école, les institutions religieuses et les réseaux associatifs entre autres pour se reconstruire. Tout en mettant en perspective un modèle baptisé « L’arbre de la construction de la résilience », l’ensemble des résultats montre la nécessité d’un accompagnement de la population avec la culture comme levier thérapeutique
This study financed by the National Research Agency of France (Project ANR-10-HAIT-002 RECREAHVI : Resilience and Creator Process among Haitian Children and Adolescents Victims of Natural Disasters), explores trauma and psychic adjustments of Haitian people in order to recover themselves after the earthquake of January 2010 which devastated several cities and killed about 2.5% of population.Studies carried out among survivors following similar events in other countries have shown significant traumatic effects on populations. Other studies have also shown that not all people affected by natural disasters experience trauma. Moreover, some people are able to find the necessary resources to recover themselves. This research aimed to study the traumatic consequences of the earthquake of Haitian population and the strategies it establishes to cope and recover itself. It is based on complementarist approach involving not only psychodynamic theories of trauma and model of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but also quantitative and qualitative methods, taking into consideration the cultural characteristics of the traumatic expression and resilience.A group of 872 children and adolescents (out of which 56.30% girls) with average age of 14.91 (SD = 1.94) and 1,355 adults (out of which 48.71% of women) with average age of 31, 57 (SD = 14.42) were evaluated using questionnaires about traumatic life events, traumatic exposure, symptoms of peritraumatic distress, PTSD, depression, social support and resilience. Qualitative data were then collected using clinical interviews and projective methods (Rorschach and D10) on about twenty subjects. Six case studies chosen for their specificities (amputation, transferential and countertransferential dynamic) are presented in this work.Two and a half years after the earthquake, the results show high prevalence of PTSD and depression symptoms (respectively 36.96% and 46.21% for child / adolescent group and 36.75% and 25.98 % for adults). Similarly, they show that young age, advanced age, female gender, unemployment, low education level and economic difficulties are the main risk factors. The degree of traumatic exposure and peritraumatic distress factors are the major predictors of PTSD symptoms and depression. The results of the clinical phase particularly emphasize the entanglement of multiple psychic trauma which are expressed through cultural codes at individual, family, community and social levelsHowever, the results also indicate that compared to other countries which had similar earthquakes such as Japan and China, Haitian children, adolescents and adults demonstrate a higher level of resilience on the Resilience Scale translated, validated and published in Haitian Creole. Given that social support is the best predictor factor of resilience, it was observed that the survivors are based on a set of interconnected resilience tutors such as family, school, religious institutions and associative networks to recover themselves.While putting in perspective a model called "The Tree of resilience construction", all the results show the need of psychological support for the population with the culture as a therapeutic leverage

Abstract:
When an earthquake happens, one of the most important tasks of disaster managers is to conduct damage assessment; this is mostly done from remotely sensed data. This study presents a new method for building detection and damage assessment using high-resolution satellite images and LiDAR data from Port-au-Prince, Haiti. A graph-cut method is used for building detection due to its advantages compared to traditional methods such as the Hough transform. Results of two methods are compared to understand how much our proposed technique is effective. Afterwards, sensitivity analysis is performed to show the effect of image resolution on the efficiency of our method. Results are in four groups. First: based on two criteria for sensitivity analysis, completeness and correctness, the more efficient method is graph-cut, and the final building mask layer is used for damage assessment. Next, building damage assessment is done using change detection technique from two images from period of before and after the earthquake. Third, to integrate LiDAR data and damage assessment, we showed there is a strong relationship between terrain roughness variables that are calculated using digital surface models. Finally, open street map and normalized digital surface model are used to detect possible road blockages. Results of detecting road blockages showed positive values of normalized digital surface model on the road centerline can represent blockages if we exclude other objects such as cars.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, we will examine Japan’s response to a complex crisis in Haiti, in which a natural disaster and civil unrest were compounded. Persistent insecurity and confusion in Haiti, albeit under the presence of an ongoing United Nations Peacekeeping Operation (UNPKO), further deteriorated after the great earthquake in 2010. This challenge unexpectedly propelled Japan’s move toward closer “integration,” since several layers of civil-military cooperation rapidly developed to cope with the complicated emergency in post-earthquake Haiti. First, the Government of Japan (GoJ) deployed a civilian medical team and the Self-Defense Forces (SDF) emergency medical assistance unit (hereafter, the SDF medical unit) under the Japan Disaster Relief (JDR) Act. Following the SDF medical unit’s JDR work, the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) carried on with medical assistance. Second, once emergency medical support ended, an SDF contingent was dispatched under the Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) Act. The Japan Engineering Groups’ (JEG’s) engagement in reconstruction served as a useful opportunity for the GoJ to refine the “All Japan” approach, further encouraging Japan’s inclination toward “integration.” Meanwhile, the experience in Haiti shed light on the gap in the legal assumptions between the JDR Act and the PKO Act, since neither of them anticipated the protection of civil JDR teams in insecurity.

Abstract:
On 14 August 2021, Haiti was hit by a magnitude 7.2 earthquake with an epicentre in the Canal du Sud (120 km west of the capital, Port-au-Prince). The earthquake killed over 2,200 people and injured more than 12,000. The vulnerability of the Haitian people to such a disaster can be traced back through centuries of colonial exploitation, resource extraction and political instability; displaying very clearly that disasters are byproducts of the societal construction of risk. This technical background report for the 2021/2022 edition of the Interconnected Disaster Risks report analyses the root causes, drivers, impacts and potential solutions for the Haiti earthquake through a forensic analysis of academic literature, media articles and expert interviews.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper uses simple regression techniques to make an initial assessment of the monetary damages caused by the January 12, 2010 earthquake that struck Haiti. Damages are estimated for a disaster with both 200,000 and 250,000 total dead and missing (i.e., the range of mortality that the earthquake is estimated to have caused) using Haitis economic and demographic data. The base estimate is US$8.1bn for a death toll of 250,000, but for several reasons this may be a lower- bound estimate. An estimate of US$13.9bn for the same death toll is within statistical error. While the results are subject to many caveats, the implications of such an estimate are significant. Raising such a figure will require many donorsbilateral, multilateral and private. Hence excellent coordination of funding and execution will be the key to ensuring the efficient use of funds.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper employs a simple methodology to estimate the potential economic damages of the 2021 earthquake in Haiti. The country registered a magnitude 7.2 earthquake off the South Coast on August 14, 2021, that resulted in 2,248 deaths, 12,763 injured and substantial damages to houses and other infrastructure. An additional 329 persons remain missing. We estimate economic damages using econometric techniques and a dataset on natural disasters across a wide range of countries and over an extended time period. Based on this analysis, damages for the 2021 earthquake in Haiti are estimated to reach US$1.6 billion (9.6 percent of GDP) for a scenario with an impact of 2,500 dead or missing. We also generate confidence intervals on these results. We hope these early estimates will provide a useful input to the ongoing Post-Disaster Risk Assessment (PDNA) and will assist the government and its international partners plan efforts to assist the country in terms of relief and reconstruction.

Full text
Abstract:
The country strategy with Haiti for the 2011-2015 period is the Inter-American Development Bank's (IDB) first post-earthquake strategy and coincides with the start of the mandate of the Ninth General Increase in the Resources of the IDB (IDB-9). The IDB-9 commitments for Haiti include debt forgiveness and expanding the IDB Grant Facility with a view to providing Haiti with US$200 million per year over a period of 10 years (2011-2020), subject to annual approval by the Governors. The IDB-9 commitments modified the Bank's relationship with Haiti by converting the Bank's entire portfolio to a grant portfolio. Adjustment to the IDB-9 requirements also included to create in the Vice Presidency for Countries (VPC) a Haiti Department (CDH), to ensure the efficient and effective management of the unprecedented amount of resources allocated by IDB-9 (document AB-2764) to the Haiti program. The Haiti Country Program Evaluation (CPE) for the 2011-2015 period covers the first five years of the IDB-9 mandate and the change in the Bank's strategic positioning in Haiti. The CPE is an opportunity to evaluate the Bank's post-earthquake actions with a view to identifying the main challenges that the Bank faces to position itself in the five remaining years of the IDB-9 mandate. The CPE is divided into five chapters. Chapter I analyzes the changes in the economic, political, and social context in which the country strategy was implemented, with particular emphasis on the structural limitations that affect Haiti's development. Chapter II analyzes the Bank's positioning, with an emphasis on the significance of the strategic commitment and the efficiency of implementation of the operational program. Chapter III focuses on an effectiveness analysis and an analysis of the main outcomes at a sector level. Chapter IV sets out the main conclusions and recommendations for the next strategy cycle. The CPE also includes sector annexes that describe the sectoral context in which the program was implemented and a detailed evaluation of IDB operations in each sector, as well as other annexes with additional information.

Abstract:
This evaluation examines the IDB's Country Program with Haiti for the 2007-2011 period. IDB's strategic positioning in Haiti during this period was affected by the materialization of risks identified in the 2007 Country Strategy. The 2007 Country Strategy called for the continuation of support to Haiti's nascent recovery, noting political fragility, macroeconomic instability and natural disasters as the main potential risks. IDB's response to the 2010 earthquake was timely and relevant in operational and financial terms, although it lacked a clearly articulated long-term strategy. OVE concludes that the IDB's future strategy in Haiti can be more relevant and effective if it: (i) maps out a consensus-based strategy with the country that is realistic, supports rebuilding the country's institutions, and targets poverty reduction; (ii) overcomes the coordination weaknesses among donor agencies and promotes the leadership of the Government of Haiti in the coordination of development aid; (iii) builds the analysis of risks associated with institutional, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities and appropriate mitigation measures into the design of each operation; and (iv) intensifies efforts to ensure program monitoring and reporting, including improvements in the quality of information available in the country.

Abstract:
In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti's earthquake, the Government of Haiti faced massive reconstruction needs in all sectors. As part of the response of the Government of Haiti to the massive reconstruction needs, from 2010 to 2020, the IDB designed a series of grant operations plus seven co-financings designed to support a wider School Reconstruction Program. These operations achieved the (re)construction of 90 public schools countrywide, which resulted in the creation of approximately 1,000 classrooms and 40,000 seats, providing a safer and comfortable learning environment for approximately 60,000 children each school year.
