In July, six months after the earthquake, only 19 % of pledged funds had beendisbursed. The domestic community was still in shock and the internationalcommunity voiced a crucial need for everyone to act faster in getting help where it isneeded the most. The IHRC responded. At its August meeting, Prime MinisterBellerive presented a series of three-month priorities for the government in six keyareas.
11 months after the earthquake, funding started to come, if slowly. Thedomestic and international communities were starting to work together moreeffectively. The IHRC was taking an active role in this cooperation, as evidenced by theprojects approved by the IHRC (valued at $3 billion) for which internationalorganizations have partnered with Haitian ministries. Other examples of cooperationinclude, to name only a few, the provision of sector expertise to the IHRC byinternational organizations, direct collaboration between international organizations inagriculture programs, and joint working sessions between IHRC and Haitianministries to expand and refine the recovery plans presented at the United Nations inMarch
Developed jointly by the Commission, international experts and ministry leaders, thisplan outlines many of the most important things needed in Haiti by October 2011, theend of IHRC's mandate.
The remainder of this document outlines the plan and is organized into 3 mainsections:
A pressing need now describes the rationale for developing a targeted plan forthe end of the commissions mandate
A path to impact describes what the most important outcomes are on the groundfor the people of Haiti and how to achieve these outcomes
A call to action outlines how everyone should contribute to ensuring that themost important outcomes are achieved.
Going forward, this plan will serve as a much needed point of departure for guidingall the involved parties. In the immediate future, the IHRC will work with itsstakeholders, to further identify and develop concrete programs needed to achieve theimpact envisioned by this plan. This will include developing specific requests forprojects to fit in the needed programs and working with the Government to developimplementable solutions to the policy questions and institutional needs identified.
