In the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, Haiti is poised to receive substantial aid for reconstruction and economic development. However, the country's history of corruption poses a significant risk that this aid could be mismanaged or misused. This paper explores how Haiti can confront corruption directly and create a politically viable anti-corruption strategy. It draws on international lessons and Haiti's specific realities to propose ways to prevent and subvert systemic corruption, emphasizing the need for strong leadership, public-private partnerships, and citizen involvement.
