Published purpose

This project contributes to socio-economic development in local communities with the goal of improving living conditions in the communities. It aims to address the problem of low incomes, promote small businesses, and encourage environmental protection and agricultural productivity. It iestablishes autonomous local development bodies using a participatory approach and encourages communities to take responsibility for their own development. In addition to achieving greater autonomy, communities learn to incorporate the principles of good governance, democracy, and gender equality and representation into the organization of their development bodies. They also learn to work side by side with elected officials and with decentralized local government bodies. The project also supports Haitian government institutions in developing a national local development policy and implementing coordination mechanisms that involve all local development stakeholders. The project directly supports the following communes: Saint-Michel de l'Attalaye, Gros-Morne, and Bombardopolis. The project also funds initiatives that promote local entrepreneurship in these three communes and in Anse-à-Veau, Paillant, Perches, Carice, Mont-Organisé, Capotille, and Plaisance.
