Index of Governance and Public Policy in Disaster Risk Management (iGOPP): National Report, Haiti

The iGOPP is a scored instrument the IDB applies across Latin America and the Caribbean to measure whether a country's laws, institutions and budget actually support disaster risk management, as opposed to declaring that they do. This is the national report for Haiti. It scores six components in turn: the general governance framework, risk identification, risk reduction, response preparedness, recovery planning and financial protection, then draws conclusions and policy recommendations.

Because the instrument is the same in every country, the Haiti score is comparable with the rest of the region. The report's conclusions open on the general normative framework, where it finds a substantial gap.
