This Congressional Research Service report examines the international assistance strategy developed for Haiti after the ouster of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in February 2004. The strategy, known as the Interim Cooperation Framework (ICF), was designed to address Haiti's short-term needs until a new government could be established. The report details the ICF's four strategic axes: political governance and national dialogue; economic governance and institutional development; economic recovery; and access to basic services. It also discusses congressional concerns regarding the pace of fund disbursement and the effectiveness of the aid being provided, as well as progress made under the ICF.
