Full Description
This document presents the first volume of Haiti's Strategic Development Plan (PSDH), a comprehensive roadmap designed to transform Haiti into an emerging country by 2030. Developed following the devastating January 12, 2010 earthquake, this plan represents a national refoundation effort supported by both President Michel Joseph Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Salvador Lamothe.
The plan is structured around four major reconstruction projects (grands chantiers): territorial refoundation, economic refoundation, social refoundation, and institutional refoundation. Each project contains multiple programs addressing specific sectors from infrastructure and environment to education, health, governance, and justice. The territorial refoundation focuses on land management, urban renewal, transportation networks, electrification, and water services.
The economic refoundation emphasizes private sector-led growth, agricultural modernization, industrial development, tourism, and job creation. The social refoundation addresses education at all levels, healthcare access, housing, cultural protection, and social security systems. The institutional refoundation aims to strengthen democratic institutions, modernize public administration, promote decentralization, and improve justice and security systems.
This version serves as a public consultation document, inviting input from citizens, diaspora, parliament, civil society, private sector, and international partners before finalization. The government commits to participatory governance and coordinated implementation with development partners following Paris Declaration principles on aid effectiveness.
