Kenya and Haiti: A Comparative Summary of the Two Countries According to the Data
- Adult literacy is 62 percent in Haiti and 83 percent in Kenya.
- In 2022 inflation was 34.0 percent in Haiti and 7.7 percent in Kenya, and GDP growth was -1.7 percent in Haiti and 4.8 percent in Kenya.
- Remittances received were 22.4 percent of GDP in Haiti in 2022 and 3.6 percent in Kenya.
- The authors find Kenya ahead on economic and institutional indicators and Haiti ahead on environmental indicators, except renewable electricity production.
- Both countries are lower-middle income economies, and Haiti is the only country of the Americas on the UN list of 46 least developed countries.
The authors set out four tables of social, economic, environmental and institutional indicators for Kenya and Haiti, taken from official databases, without taking a position on sending a multinational force. They conclude that Kenya shows a better picture on economic and institutional indicators, and Haiti a better picture on environmental ones apart from renewable electricity production.
The tables show, for example, adult literacy of 62 percent in Haiti compared with 83 percent in Kenya, and 2022 inflation of 34.0 percent in Haiti compared with 7.7 percent in Kenya. The article notes that both countries are classified as lower-middle income economies by the World Bank and that Haiti is the only country of the Americas on the UN list of 46 least developed countries.
