Haiti, Three Years after the Earthquake:
The Time for Accountability by Haiti Advocacy Working Group
2013 presents itself as a time of reckoning, an opportunity to assess the impact of the last three years, based on the principles of accountability, transparency, governance, inclusion, participation, and consultation.
- How did the plans envisioned take into the account the needs of the majority of Haitians who are poor and vulnerable?
- How were their voices included in the process of reconstruction and development?
- What was the impact of the programs and projects implemented on the majority of Haitians?
The Haiti Advocacy Working Group is asking you to save the date for discussions around the 3rd Commemoration of the earthquake in Haiti. Please join us as we host a series of panel discussions on agriculture, housing, and women rights, with grassroots partners from Haiti, members of Congress and their staff, Diaspora, friends of Haiti, and media outlets.
