    On March 14, the Haiti Property Law Working Group released Haiti Land Transaction Manual, Vol. 1: A how-to guide for the legal sale of property in Haiti. This manual is an important step in the reconstruction efforts in Haiti following the devastating 2010 earthquake, which have been greatly impeded by weak land administration systems and the resulting disputes over land and property. The new manual will help Haitians, international donors, and civil society navigate the country’s complex bureaucratic legal system.

    In the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake, land and property issues emerged as an area of significant concern in Haiti. Analyses in the weeks following the disaster warned that destruction of property records, massive population displacement and loss of life could contribute to opportunism, land grabbing, conflict and delayed resettlement—particularly in urban areas severely affected by the earthquake.

    There has long been an active debate in Haiti - as in many other developing countries - over whether or not the customary tenure system constrains technology adoption and agricultural development, and whether cadaster and land titling should be national priorities. This paper contributes to this debate by reviewing and interpreting the body of literature and new empirical evidence concerning the relationship between land tenure and the adoption of technology in rural Haiti.

    This situational analysis of metropolitan Port-au-Prince gives in-depth background to the city’s condition in terms of urban development and planning. The report maps a way forward for future planning of the metropolitan area. It argues that the main stakeholder for any urban development intervention should be the state, and more precisely the municipalities. The municipalities in Port-au-Prince need support in planning and delivering basic services.

    The objective of this report is to
    examine the linkages between rural economic activity, food
    insecurity and poverty in Haiti as a means of determining
    the barriers to rural development. The analysis draws on a
    newly available set of house-hold level living standards
    measurement data collected in 2012 (ECVMAS). About 70.7
    percent of all rural households are poor, and education
    levels are low with an average of 2.8 years of education for

    Despite a decline in both monetary and
    multidimensional poverty rates since 2000, Haiti remains
    among the poorest and most unequal countries in Latin
    America. Two years after the 2010 earthquake, poverty was
    still high, particularly in rural areas. This report
    establishes that in 2012 more than one in two Haitians was
    poor, living on less than $ 2.41 a day, and one person in
    four was living below the national extreme poverty line of

    This paper examines the dynamics of
    poverty and vulnerability in Haiti using various data sets.
    As living conditions survey data are not comparable in this
    country, we first propose to use the three rounds of the
    Demographic Health Survey (DHS) available before the
    earthquake. Decomposing household assets changes into age
    and cohort effects, we use repeated cross-section data to
    identify and estimate the variance of shocks on assets and

    This country note briefly summarizes
    information relevant to both climate change and agriculture
    in Haiti, with focus on policy developments (including
    action plans and programs) and institutional make-up. Haiti
    has submitted its National Adaptation Plan of Action to the
    United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
    (UNFCCC). Land use change and forestry are the largest
    contributors to green house gas (GHG) emissions in the

    This paper analyzes poverty in Haiti
    based on the first Living Conditions Survey of 7,186
    households covering the whole country and representative at
    the regional level. Using a USD1 a day extreme poverty line,
    the analysis reveals that 49 percent of Haitian households
    live in absolute poverty. Twenty, 56, and 58 percent of
    households in metropolitan, urban, and rural areas,
    respectively, are poor. At the regional level, poverty is
