Economic Development, Poverty, and Inequality in Haiti During the Past 20 Years (1997-2017)

During the past 20 years, Haiti’s development efforts have been stifled by natural disasters, poverty, and inequality. Given all of the current challenges facing Haiti, the World Bank Group country partnership framework aims to support the country’s efforts to provide economic opportunities for all Haitians. As the country continues to pursue improvement across various socioeconomic outcomes, it will be important to consider retooling existing pro-development policy interventions and focus on human capital development, sustainable infrastructure, food security, and climate-smart agriculture practices.
