Haiti Donor Convening: Championing Community-Led Development
Co-Organized with the Inter-American Foundation, June 12, 2024, Washington, D.C.
Civic Leadership for Development in Haiti
Haiti Development Forum is a platform for convening Haitian and international funders, nonprofit leaders, impact investors and social entrepreneurs to strategize on how best to respond to current crises and pursue long-term development.
Haiti lags behind almost every country in the world in income, employment, infrastructure and access to education, healthcare, energy, internet, financial services and clean water and sanitation. Political instability, insecurity, poor governance and extreme vulnerability to disasters are daunting challenges that have worsened in recent years.
Now more than ever, it is crucial to bring people together to connect, learn, strategize and collaborate on how to achieve transformative impact in communities and systemic change for a more stable, equitable and prosperous Haiti.
The Haiti Development Forum facilitates learning, networking and disciplined conversations:
among local stakeholders across communities and sectors within Haiti, and
among international actors committed to supporting effective development assistance for Haiti.
