The diagnostic survey on governance and corruption in Haiti, conducted in 2007, aimed to understand the experiences and perspectives of Haitians on the state of governance and corruption in their country. The study sampled four sub-populations: households, business leaders, civil servants, and non-governmental organizations. The survey was conducted in three zones: the Metropolitan Area, Cap Haitien, and border areas. The results of the survey highlight the challenges of corruption, weaknesses in the justice and security sectors, and the impact of poor governance on public services and economic growth. The report also identifies potential areas for reform and the roles of various actors in combating corruption.
