Full Description
Haiti's Strategic Development Plan represents an ambitious national vision to transform the country into an emerging nation by 2030, developed in response to the devastating January 12, 2010 earthquake. The plan is structured around four major reconstruction projects that address fundamental aspects of national development: territorial refoundation, economic refoundation, social refoundation, and institutional refoundation.
The territorial refoundation focuses on spatial planning, environmental management, urban renewal, transportation networks, electrification, digital communications, and water and sanitation services. The economic refoundation emphasizes private sector-led growth, agricultural modernization, industrial development, tourism, mining, and employment creation. The social refoundation addresses education, healthcare, housing, culture, social protection, and gender equality.
The institutional refoundation aims to strengthen democratic institutions, modernize public administration, promote decentralization, and enhance justice and security systems. The plan positions the private sector as the primary driver of wealth and job creation, while emphasizing the need for regional development poles and social inclusion, particularly for youth, women, and rural populations.
This document represents a public consultation version intended to gather feedback from citizens, diaspora, parliament, civil society, private sector, and international partners. President Michel Joseph Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Salvador Lamothe both emphasize the participatory nature of the planning process and the need for national unity in implementing this comprehensive transformation agenda.
