The Diaspora Partnership Accelerator (DPA), led by the Haiti Renewal Alliance (HRA) and funded by USAID/BHA, aimed to unlock barriers to direct engagement with diaspora communities in addressing humanitarian problems in Haiti. The project consisted of two phases: an Investor Tank competition and project implementation. In Phase 1, diaspora organizations pitched projects in health, agribusiness, and shelter to a Technical Evaluation Committee and the public. Three winners received $150,000 to implement their projects in Phase 2, with HRA providing advisory support. The DPA Closing Ceremony showcased project results and lessons learned, emphasizing the importance of innovative partnerships and capacity building for local organizations.
