Education and Conflict in Haiti: Rebuilding the Education Sector after the 2010 Earthquake
Summary: A USIP Special Report arguing that education in Haiti both drives and moderates conflict, describing the sector as it stood before the 2010 earthquake and setting out what reconstruction would require.
Key Findings
- Treats education as both a driver and a moderator of conflict, rather than only as a service to be delivered.
- States openly that the recommendations predate the earthquake and argues the underlying problems are unchanged.
- Co-authored by Ketty Luzincourt, chief executive of a Haitian organization, rather than written wholly from outside.
Full Description
A USIP Special Report arguing that education in Haiti both drives and moderates conflict, describing the sector as it stood before the 2010 earthquake and setting out what reconstruction would require. Its recommendations were written before the earthquake and published after it, which the authors keep visible rather than concealing: the underlying problems did not change.
