Urban Informality, Post-Disaster Management, and Challenges to Gender-Responsive Planning in Haiti Since the 2010 Earthquake

The tiny nation (10,714 square miles) situated on the island of Hispaniola, still recovering from the devastatingHaitian officials, 2010 in earthquake, line with most which country claimed leaders the lives around of close the world,to two announcedhundred thousand a series people,of health, seemed hygiene prepared and safety to take precautions on the challenges following of COVID-19. Businesses and schools immediately closed, face masks and hand sanitizers were distributed by the thousands. But the effects of emergency injunctions that were not geared towards capacity-building, but rather prevention of rapid infectious disease transmission, could prove debilitating for the impoverished nation over the long-term. Primary and secondary school enrollment rates in Haiti are at an all-time low, and projections for the Haitian economy are dismal (-3.5% GDP growth 2020f) (World Bank 2020: 27). As a retrospective study, this paper conducts a critical quantitative and qualitative analysis of humanitarian aid, gender-based violence, and urbanism in Haiti, revealing that gender-responsive planning has a greater role to play in state-led disaster management plans and procedures for achieving long-term equity and sustainable economic growth. -

1 of 14 Haiti Response to HTI04001.RIC Information Request Number: Date: February 13, 2004 Subject: Haiti: Information on Members of the Group of 184 From: CIS Resource Information Center Keywords: Haiti / Civil society / Education organizations / Grassroots organizations / Human rights organizations / Media organizations / Opposition leaders / Political opposition / Peasant movements / Student organizations / Trade unions / Women’s organizations / Youth organizations Query: Who are the members of the Group of 184? Are they individuals or organizations? Who heads the Group of 184? Response: The Group of 184 (Groupe 184) consists of both individuals and organizations, arranged in thirteen sectors – cultural, private enterprise, labor union, peasant union, urban neighborhood, feminist, civic association, educational, professional, human rights, media, university, and non-governmental organization. Some organizations are listed in more than one category. The Group of 184 is headed by U.S.-born businessman André (“Andy”) Apaid, Jr. According to the National Commission for Haitian Rights, Apaid “has been the public voice behind the movement as well as its best salesperson. Mr. Apaid also has a strong anti-Aristide reputation, which greatly contributes to the perception of the group as an anti-Lavalas outfit” (NCHR 2003). The following membership lists were obtained from the Group of 184 website at http://www.group184.org/. The lists have been rearranged in alphabetic order, obvious typographical errors corrected, and English translations provided wherever possible. -

Planting Now (2Nd Edition): Revitalizing Agriculture For
162 OXFAM BRIEFING PAPER 15 OCTOBER 2012 Kenise Lainé, is a member of Development of Haitian Women (OREFHA), an Oxfam partner and one of the first organizations to experiment with the agroecological system of rice intensification (SRI) in the Artibonite Valley. © 2011 Brett Eloff/Oxfam America PLANTING NOW (2ND EDITION) Revitalizing agriculture for reconstruction and development in Haiti Agriculture in Haiti has suffered three decades of crisis and institutional neglect. Nevertheless, almost 60 percent of Haitians live in rural areas and rely on farming for their livelihoods. For that reason, agriculture must play a central role in post-earthquake reconstruction. However, the plans and programs of the Haitian government and the international community have proven insufficient to revitalize the sector and improve conditions for small-scale farmers, and have failed to recognize the important roles of women in agriculture. The Haitian government and the main actors in agriculture should continue to prioritize agricultural development, while putting greater emphasis on long-term programs to assist Haitians to get back on their feet and improve their living conditions with dignity. www.oxfam.org SUMMARY The devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010 exacerbated the country‘s grinding poverty and serious development problems, while at the same time worsening Haitian living conditions. The tremor killed over 250,000 people and injured 300,000. It crippled the economy, causing losses estimated at almost 120 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Nevertheless, economic growth is expected to rise between 7 and 9 percent in 2012,1 largely owing to reconstruction efforts. The population in internally displaced persons camps has decreased from 1.5 million to around 390,000 (according to the June 2012 report of the International Organization for Migration),2 and the country‘s hurricane preparedness capacity has increased. -
