The social and economic difficulties of Haiti are well documented over the last decades. Future priorities in the economic sphere are in the sustainable growth of different local crops, which will improve the living standards of its population.
Cette étude a été réalisée avec peu de moyens et dans un temps réduit d’investigation d’une semaine respectivement sur chaque territoire haïtien et guadeloupéen concernés.Dans ce temps, les principaux acteurs du développement local ont été toutefois rencontrés et ont ainsi activement participé à la réflexion générale développée ici.
Haiti has a vision to become an emerging economy by 2030. Haiti’s geography, resources, and history provide it with opportunities.

The Private Sector Assessment Report (PSAR) presents an overview of the private sector in Haiti1. The basis for this report was drawn from the Final Integrated Report on a Strategy for Haiti, which was originally developed for the Inter-American Development Bank’s Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF).2 It was intended to inform the MIF’s strategy in Haiti.
Tourism is often described as key to Haiti’s salvation. The economic potential of foreigners visiting the island nation is cited in virtually all major assessments of the country’s current development problems.

La microfinance haïtienne est peu étudiée. Il y a peu de recherches scientifiques menées dans le secteur de l’économie nationale. Pourtant, ce dernier occupe une place désormais importante dans l’économie nationale. Le présent article vise à contribuer à pallier cette lacune. Il propose un point de départ pour les recherches futures, appelées à être menées tant par des étudiants que par des chercheurs confirmés. Les praticiens pourront se retrouver, espérons-nous, dans notre découpage de l’histoire récente de la microfinance haïtienne en quatre phases et deux cycles d’expansion dont le dernier n’est pas encore achevé.
This presentation represents the preliminary strategic direction of a multi-year, whole-of-government, U.S. strategy to address food security in a Feed the Future country or region.

In rural Haiti, community development programs are delivered predominantly by non-governmental organizations(NGOs), and commonly have goals related to empowerment, participation, and local capacity development. Yet attainment of these goals is often difficult, and analysis of these programs neglects the complex micropolitics of development interventions. This thesis investigates the local-level encounter and contestation of NGO and local discourses of development in a community in rural Haiti.
