Storyline

The Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC) tasked with rebuilding Haiti after last year’s devastating earthquake announced reconstruction plans aimed at helping around 300,000 families on Monday (28 Feb).

Former United States (US) President Bill Clinton, who co-chairs the Commission with Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, announced several projects involving health, housing and employment which are projected to cost approximately (USD) two hundred and fifty five million dollars.

At a IHRC press conference, Clinton said that in order to reach the goals set out in the strategic plan, we’ll have to do very specific things and we’ll have to work together to do it.”

Following the earthquake on 12 January 2010, the international community responded immediately to the catastrophe with pledges totalling several billion dollars in aid for the country.

The Red Cross said that it would provide around 30,000 transitional homes, while Spain and Japan had contributed thirty million dollars each for reconstruction.
