It also looks at the effects of external financing, the pressure of the international community, and international sanctions. This is a research effort led by the Inter-American Dialogue.

Give Haiti another chance — and the support it needs

Based on wide experience in eight conflicts, to include Haiti, I believe there is a way out of the current dead end. It requires patiently and assertively combining international expertise and resources with Haitian will and energy to address the country’s intertwined problems of security and governance.
