Action Plan for National Recovery and Development of Haiti

This comprehensive action plan presents Haiti's strategy for national recovery and development following the devastating January 12, 2010 earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. The document emphasizes that reconstruction should not simply restore pre-earthquake conditions but address structural vulnerabilities that made the disaster so catastrophic.

The plan is structured around four pillars of refoundation: territorial (reconstruction of devastated areas, national transport network, disaster risk management), economic (agricultural production, private sector development, electricity access), social (housing, employment creation, education, health), and institutional (democratic institutions, public administration, justice and security). The approach spans 18 months for immediate actions and a 10-year perspective for structural transformation.

Key institutional mechanisms include the creation of an Interim Commission for Haiti's Reconstruction (CIRH) and a Multi-Donor Trust Fund. The plan emphasizes the need for new forms of cooperation based on Paris Declaration principles and calls for placing state strengthening at the center of interventions. It represents a collective effort involving consultation with various sectors of Haitian society and the diaspora.

The document stresses that the tragedy presents an opportunity to unite all Haitians in a common project of national refoundation, addressing root causes of underdevelopment while maintaining democratic progress achieved since 2006.
