Recent cholera outbreak in Haiti indicated the disease remains a global threat. Framework for developing cholera prediction models in cholera endemic (ER) and non-endemic regions (NER) . The sharp contrast in mortality rates between ER and NER exists not because we do not know how to treat cholera patients, but because of a persistent “knowledge barrier” between ER and NER. We propose a pragmatic and adaptive framework which hypothesizes that convergence of three enabling situations - Inception, Environmental Conditions, and Transmission - are necessary for a cholera outbreak to become an epidemic.

Interestingly, one reference strain CP 1038 (from Zambia) genome falls into the Haitian cluster. Conclusion: Genomic analysis provided evidence that two distinct Vibrio populations, V. cholerae O1 and V. cholerae non-O1/O139, contributed to the cholera epidemic in Haiti. Comprehensive genomic analysis showed: V. cholerae O1 populations were clonal, resembling concurrent epidemic isolates from South Asia and Africa. V. cholerae non-O1/O139 populations were not clonal but most probably serve as a reservoir for genomic and pathogenicity islands. V. cholerae non-O1/O139 populations in Haiti harbor a genomic backbone similar to that of toxigenic V. cholerae O1 circulating in the Western hemisphere. Genomic analysis of Haitian V. cholerae O1 strains has provided evidence of: a distinct VNTR genotype, genetic polymorphisms of rstB and ctxB, nucleotide (GTA) deletions in rstB, an increased number (five) of ToxR binding repeats, mutations in gyrA and parC gene, and a genetically similar set of MGE’s shared with isolated elsewhere Core gene and SNP-derived phylogenies suggest, and PCA findings reinforce, that quite quickly, i.e., within a three week period early in the cholera epidemic, significant genomic diversity accumulated in the circulating population.

  • Climate Change Resilience: the Case of Haiti EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    OXFAM RESEARCH REPORTS MARCH 2014 CLIMATE CHANGE RESILIENCE The case of Haiti BHAWAN SINGH/MARC J. COHEN University of Montréal/Oxfam America Natural and human-induced hazards (storms, floods, and droughts) have highly destructive impacts on buildings, land, water, livestock, and people in Haiti. The poorest Haitians, including low-income women, children, and elderly people, are especially vulnerable. There is already evidence of climate change, including higher mean temperatures and altered rainfall patterns. Without adaptation actions, climate change is likely to magnify the damaging effects of hazards and to increase poverty. Resilience-building measures include flood control, integrated river basin management, reforestation, promotion of wood-energy alternatives, adoption of new crop varieties and farming practices, reduction in cultivation of steep slopes, and creation of non-farm livelihood options. The prospects for climate change resilience are now intricately tied to post- earthquake reconstruction. As Haiti turns its attention to preparing for more disasters and rebuilds significant portions of its infrastructure, there is a real opportunity to integrate climate resilience into these efforts. But Haiti faces serious governance, capacity, and finance challenges. Capacity is weak because of a lack of sensitization to climate change, inadequate technical knowledge, and meagre finances. It is essential to disseminate information about climate change and variability and their impacts in order to press leaders to incorporate climate change resilience into development plans and policies. Oxfam Research Reports are written to share research results, to contribute to public debate and to invite feedback on development and humanitarian policy and practice. They do not necessarily reflect Oxfam policy positions.

Toutefois, l’implantation des bases nécessaires et la conception de programmes cohérents qui répondent à la réalité du pays ou d'une zone donnée en particulier, n’ont jamais fait l’objet de planification intégrant tous les secteurs et acteurs de la société, pourtant partenaires du développement. De fait, les pouvoirs publics ont déjà tenté d'établir un cadre devant assurer un développement harmonieux plus ou moins équilibré à long terme. Ces tentatives, qui ne considéraient que quelques réalités sociales, économiques et politiques du pays, ne se sont généralement soldées que par le renforcement temporaire de quelques acteurs privilégiés. Par ailleurs, le redressement socio-économique du pays doit s'appuyer sur la protection et la mise en valeur du territoire et des ressources disponibles. A court terme, des problématiques départementales, dont celle de l’Artibonite, doivent être élaborées. A moyen terme, ces problématiques devront évoluer vers des schémas d'aménagement et des plans stratégiques de développement. Des schémas d'aménagement communaux, urbains et ruraux, devront également être élaborés pour chacune des 133 communes haïtiennes. Pour atteindre cet objectif, en août 1995, le Ministère de la Planification et de la Coopération Externe (MPCE), au nom du Gouvernement de la République d'Haïti, mettait en place avec l’appui du Programme des Nations Unies pour le Développement (PNUD) un accord pour la réalisation d'un projet d'Appui Institutionnel en Aménagement du Territoire.

  • An Update to Haiti's Administrative Organization
    HAITI ---AN UPDATE TO ITS ADMINISTRATIVE/POSTAL ORGANIZATION By Wally Deltoro In 2007, I came across an interesting website devoted to information concerning the administrative divisions of the countries of the world. My curiosity led me to the section pertaining to HAITI. The country section contained much information that directly or indirectly is pertinent to the knowledge we as collectors of Haiti philately should be familiar with. Specifically several pieces of information were of philatelic interest: 1- Haiti is no longer divided into 9 departments but rather 10 departments 2- The new department, NIPPES, was created in 2003 3- A listing of all of Haiti’s Arrondissements was provided that included the first 2 digits of the postal code. Overall, the information provided I found it to be interesting and useful. It certainly would be for those of us interested in town cancellations. Thus, in my desire to share it with our membership, I requested and obtained approval to publish information from the Haiti pages from the producer of the web site, Mr. Gwillim Law from Chapel Hill, NC, USA. His web site, Administrative Divisions of Countries ("Statoids") (http://www.statoids.com), provides similar information on all countries of the world. *** The Postal Codes of Haiti Haiti uses four-digit postal codes, always prefixed with "HT". The first digit represents the department; the first two, the arrondissement; the first three, the commune. The Departments of Haiti The eastern half of the Grand' Anse department was evidently split off to form Nippes department. The capital is Miragoâne. The electoral decree of 2005-02-03 states that the department of Nippes was created by a law of 2003-09-04.
