Supporting Education in Haiti: A Directory of Civil Society Organizations Working in the Education Sector in Haiti, Earthquake Recovery Update

The directory was developed after former US President Bill Clinton called for more information on, and coordination of, nongovernmental organizations working in Haiti. Its purposes are to encourage private sector support for the education sector, to link donors, the Haitian diaspora and the private sector to local organizations, and to improve coordination of education support.

The May 2010 update responds to the post-earthquake recovery effort and checks each organization's functionality, changes to its education activities, and contact and staffing information. The directory lists organizations with medium to large scale impact and leaves out those whose small-scale activities benefit fewer than 100 children, except scholarship activities. It covers organizations working nationwide or in the urban areas of Port-au-Prince, Gonaïves, Cap-Haïtien, Saint-Marc, Les Cayes and Petit-Goâve. AIR gathered the information with a local Haitian firm through interviews, phone and email contact, and web research, funded the directory itself, and planned bi-annual updates.
