Haiti: Facing the Future

During the summer of 2004, with only 20% of the Haitian roads passable and 10% of its population having access to electricity, Haiti’s interim government is targeting roads, ports and airports for immediate rehabilitation. In addition, over the next two months, it plans to double electricity services in Port-au-Prince to 12 hours per day. Long-range plans call for 50% of the population nationwide to have electricity by 2013.
