Land Tenure and Property Rights in Haiti
Summary: This USAID issue brief explains why land tenure and property rights became urgent for Haiti's post-earthquake recovery in January 2010.
Key Findings
- Adds Haiti-specific evidence from Land Portal's broader Haiti keyword search.
- Supports research on land administration, land tenure, cadastre, housing reconstruction, territorial information, rural land management or property-rights programming.
- Metadata was authored manually from local PDFs and recovered source records.
Full Description
The brief links emergency relocation, rubble clearance, return to damaged parcels, missing land documents, informal occupation, municipal property taxation and risk-prone areas to the land-tenure agenda after the January 12, 2010 earthquake. It is shorter than the later USAID country profile but provides immediate post-disaster framing.
