Report of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti (E/2012/87)

The present report highlights the main findings of the Economic and Social Council Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti following its visit to Haiti and other meetings with the country’s development partners. The report describes the encouraging progress observed in the reconstruction and recovery process in Haiti as well as on the political and rule of law fronts. It also stresses that these positive steps will be insufficient if additional and sustained efforts are not made by all Haitian actors, supported by their international partners. While Haiti may be undergoing a process of normalization, the weakness of public institutions, widespread poverty, multiple vulnerabilities and a long history of political instability advocate for Haiti to remain high on the international agenda, with appropriate levels of support. The report includes recommendations addressed to the Haitian authorities and their development partners on how such continued support can be provided so as to take advantage of progress already made and to lead them to a sustainable development path which the Haitian people deeply need and deserve.
