Abstract
Haiti is a resilient society whose rural
communities in particular have developed coping mechanisms
in response to a long history of underdevelopment and poor
governance. Like other fragile states, however, Haiti is
beset by widespread poverty and inequality, economic decline
and unemployment, institutional weakness and corruption,
violence, lawlessness, and recurrent conflict. In order for
Haiti to achieve development, poverty reduction and conflict
prevention, there must be a focus on correcting these issues
