État des lieux à Haïti et enjeu de la résilience aux catastrophes

World Bank

SOUMIS PAR RACHEL KYTE LE JEU, 04/25/2013 - 15:57

Depuis le haut d’un bâtiment abandonné, sur une base aérienne désaffectée, nous surplombons les environs. Sur la droite, une mer de cabanes miséreuses, serrées les unes contre les autres. Sur la gauche, une étendue de béton fissuré, avec, de-ci de-là, une cabane isolée.

The View Across Haiti & the Need for Disaster Resilience

Report
World Bank

SUBMITTED BY RACHEL KYTE ON TUE, 04/23/2013 - 18:36

Standing atop a disused amphitheater in a disused airforce base, we could see over the surrounding area. On the right, a sea of shacks nuzzled together in hope and desperation. On the left, stretches of cracked concrete with just one shack here, one shack there.

The emptying expanse to the left was the story of success. More than three years after the massive earthquake that shattered so much of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, rental subsidies were moving households quickly out of camps to houses in the community.

Haïti-Insécurité alimentaire : La Cnsa alerte sur la persistance d’une situation de crise dans divers départements

Report
AlterPresse

Par Emmanuel Marino Bruno

P-au-P, 17 avril 2013 [AlterPresse] --- La diminution de l’accès aux aliments locaux provoque, dans les départements du Sud, du Sud‐Est, du bas Nord‐Ouest ainsi que sur l’Ile de la Gonâve (Ouest), une situation de crise alimentaire qui se poursuivra jusqu’en mai 2013, indique la Coordination nationale de la sécurité alimentaire (Cnsa).

Cette réduction serait due à la hausse des prix, à l’épuisement des stocks et à la faible demande de main-d’œuvre, selon le bulletin publié sur le site de la Cnsa et consulté par l’agence en ligne AlterPresse.
