The government does have a history of corruption, but this is not suprising. The international community has subverted democracy in Haiti for generations and this does not go away overnight, particularly considering the extent of Haiti's brain drain. But that having been said, things are changing. The current government is the most accountable administration in a long time. It maintains good relations with the DR, the USA, Cuba, Brazil, and other regional players. Above all, this administration needs a strategy so that the world knows how Haiti will address environment degradation, and by extention, how its partners can help. Deforestation, food security, and health are inter-connected but it all comes down to the environment. If you read through the site, youll learn about the heroic efforts of small and committed organizations working in this sector. Until the government has the capacity and will to respond, your support of these organizations is greatly appreciated.
