    USAID Policies in Haiti US Programs in Haiti are obstructing equitable development

    and decreasing food security

    USAID's plan for Haiti (and many other poor countries) is topush farmers out of subsistence agriculture as soon aspossible

    USAID policies seek to make optimum use of Haiti's'comparative advantage' i.e., its abundance of cheap labor

    World Bank: the Haitian rural majority has only twopossibilities: work in the industrial sector, or emigrate

    US Government Policies

    The U.S.-based NGOs that carry out most USAIDprograms do not adequately consult or coordinate withlocal, regional and national Haitian governmentauthorities.

    USAID programs do not respond to Haiti's statedpriority of revitalizing national agricultural production;only 4.3 percent of the USAID's four-year US$ 443million aid package is destined for agriculturaldevelopment.

    Drastically reduced tariffs on

    imported food which the US

    has insisted upon as a conditionfor aid are flooding Haiti with

    cheap food, undercutting prices

    for locally grown products.

    US-funded Food Aid & Jobs-creation Programs

    US food aid depresses local prices for basic grains, reducing

    incentives for Haitian farmers to grow them.

    Food aid shifts consumption patterns away from locally produced

    goods in favor of imported goods.

    Private aid agencies

    consistently operated jobs-

    creation programs in rural

    areas at key planting andharvesting times, pulling

    people out of their fields with

    the lure of relatively high

    short-term wages.

    7/16

    Dependency and DisconnectionUSAID-funded programs stifle local initiative with short-term offers of free food and employment, creating

    cycles of dependency among Haitian farmers

    USAID agencies frequently fail to consult or work with local community organizations; instead they either

    directly implement projects themselves or work closely with discredited local elites.

    1995 USAID report: An export-driven trade and investment policy has the potential to relentlessly squeezethe domestic rice farmer. This farmer will be forced to adapt or (s)he will disappear

    Without

    Borders

    Haiti has world's highest density of NGOs per capita.

    estimated 10,000 humanitarian groups

    Republic of NGOs nickname even before the earthquake Haitian officials have long criticized foreign groups for

    offering higher salaries that lure talented people away fromgovernment jobs

    Foreign non-governmental organizations, which piled intoHaiti after the devastating January 2010 quake, are oftenduplicating services provided by the government orcompeting with it for international aid money, PrimeMinister Jean-Max-Bellerive said.

    Major Players: NGOs

    Major Players: Interim Haiti

    Reconstruction Commission 26 member body that decides where to spend

    money donated to Haitis reconstruction, apartnership between the Internationalcommunity and the Haitian government

    Works with organizations like the World Bank,who In May 2010 announced that it hadcanceled Haitis debt of $36 million. Haiti isheavily reliant on foreign aid

    Co chairman is Bill Clinton. There are 12members of the board, but most decisions aremade by the executive committee that includesClinton and Haitian PM Jean-Max Bellerive.

    There are 12 Haitians members in thecommission who complain:

    executives are not adequately doing job:

    have had meetings where co-chair PrimeMinister Jean-Max Bellerive was absent

    Only function of the executives committeeis to place stampsthey dont read,analyze, understand, or follow up on theprojects

    Haitians are now being excluded from the

    reconstruction of their nation.

    Major Players: Haitian Government

    Works closely with the United States and is heavily influenced bythem

    In the recent elections, presidential candidate Jude Celestin

    withdrew from the elections. This was a course of action that theUnited States supported, and said if their preference wasnt heeded,US support for Hiati could be at risk

    We don't know who has given money to NGO's (nongovernmentalorganizations) and how much money have they given. ... At themoment, we can't do any coordination or have any coherent policiesfor giving to the population. - Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive

    "The people of Haiti may have a long road ahead of

    them, but as they walk it, the United States will be with

    you all the way," Hillary Clinton

    Continually gets involved inHaitian issues

    Americans donated generouslyto earthquake relief

    Received $1.2 billion in aid by53 NGOs

    US Government donated $1.5billion

    The U.S. currently supports theidea of having dual nationality for

    Haitians living outside theircountry, many of whom arecurrently living in the UnitedStatesThis would allow these Haitiansto vote and potentially run foroffice

    The US put a lot of support andhad a large amount of influencein getting Haiti's new president,former pop star Michel Martelly

    Major Players:

    Analysis of USAID Policy in Haiti We must analyze USAID in such areas as:

    governmental, NGO structure, and coordination,USAID and NGO actions, the results, and overall

    earthquake disaster relief.

    Governmental: The bulk of USAID funding goestowards governance, primarily into police training.

    Food policies have focused on importing food to Haiti,versus assisting agriculture production.

    The US government also puts low tariffs on food

    imports into Haiti. Many USAID as well as multi national corporations

    offer short-term, higher waged jobs, i.e. textiles.

    During the earthquake much of the relief camethrough the Department of Defense.

    NGOs: The majority of the organizations assisting indevelopment and re-construction in Haiti, receive thebulk of their funding through USAID, i.e. CARE, andPADF.

    Many NGOs like these have more specific agendas, butmust comply with USAID objectives. Although manyNGOs are under the budgetary umbrella of USAID,they are not coordinated under USAID.

  • 7/28/2019 USAID Presentation

    13/16

    Effects of USAID USAIDs policy focus on importing food, has depressed the local markets ability to compete with local

    agriculture since they cannot beat the price the US offers. This leaves more of a demand on import goods, withless incentive for domestic agriculture.

    Short-term job creation programs have the ability to employ many, but cannot sustain their continual

    employment. These programs give incentive away from their communities, perpetuating the dependency onaid for those left behind.

    Offering these jobs also adds to the idea that in order to succeed Haiti must participate in the world market.This is unrealistic when domestic issues are so severe.

    After the earthquake there wasnt a lack of assistance, but a lack of framework, and coordination. Relief wascentered in cities causing overcrowding. Many reconstruction projects have been started that were poorlyorganized and implemented, causing more chaos.

  • 7/28/2019 USAID Presentation

    14/16

    Evaluation of USAID in Haiti The policy of importing food to Haiti is detrimental to its development.

    Environmental, and agricultural issues are ignored. There is little incentive for

    farmers when their main competition (USAID) provides cheaper food. Thecombination of these factors creates a dependency on food from USAID.

    Short-term employment opportunities take away from local incentives for jobs inthe community i.e. farming. Once again the abandonment of local issues for theseshorter jobs creates a dependency on USAID.

    Disaster reliefs still focuses more of its budget on rubble clearing and clean upthan issues such as health and reconstruction. The DoDs presence alsocontributed to a stronger military presence after the earthquake, causing Haiti toseem more like a police state.

    The failure of most NGOs to work with local communities while an elite few within

    the NGOs initiate their own projects, ignoring the needs of Haitian communities.Not allowing Haitians to fully participate in reconstruction and growth isdebilitating to Haitis development.

    The lack of consolidation or coordination among NGOs under USAID cause issuessuch as: competition for funding/ support, under or over action in key areas, a lackof structured leadership, and an absence of Haitian participation in the process.

  • 7/28/2019 USAID Presentation

    15/16

    Recommendations USAID needs to put the power back in the hands of

    Haitian farmers in order to create a stabilized agricultural

    industry. Assisting more in this process while slowly decreasing the

    amount of imports as food production increases, andlocal food costs decrease.

    US policies should decrease the emphasis on short-termjob creation, while focusing more on long-term localprojects.

    In focusing on local job creation and stability there needsto be less focus on personal gain, and more oncommunity strengthening, so that Haitians havesomething to build more equity off of in the future.

    USAID needs plan more around the voiced needs of theHaitians versus implementing their own projects. Indoing so more work can be done by those in need.

    NGOs need a more standard framework in informationsharing, operations and cohesive leadership.

    In terms of disaster relief US policy should focus less onthe military presence, and organize a more cohesiverelief strategy.
