The U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability 10-Year Plan for Haiti 2022-2032

The plan was developed through an embassy-led interagency process and consultations with over 230 individuals from Haitian government and civil society, multilateral and bilateral organizations, the private sector, academia and the diaspora. Its analysis finds three dynamics driving instability: lack of safety and security, economic inequality, and weak governance. It also covers climate change, food insecurity and malnutrition, corruption, gender inequality and migration, and cites ACLED data of 944 fatalities from political violence as of September 2022, and an informal sector that holds an estimated 90 percent of workers and 60 percent of GDP.

The long-term end state is that Haiti's citizens and government advance a shared vision and a permissive environment for long-term stability. The plan works through three phases: citizen security first, with a place-based approach in high-violence neighborhoods and transportation and economic hubs; then the root causes of instability; then sustainability through Haitian-owned systems. It has two objectives, responsive and accountable governance and a prosperous and engaged citizenry, with improved safety and security as the foundational premise. It also describes partnerships with local, national and regional actors, including USAID's target of 25 percent of new awards going directly to local partners, and a monitoring, evaluation and learning approach.
