Storyline

The Haiti reconstruction panel co-chaired by former U.S. President Bill Clinton announced on Wednesday a (USD) $78M project to rebuild neighborhoods damaged by last year’s earthquake in Haiti.
At a ceremony in Port au Prince, Clinton said that it was “very important” that the international community continued to support President Michel Martelly’s vision to rebuild Haiti “by allocating and dispersing funds to this project quickly.”

Clinton also stressed that the project be completed within two years of its beginning and implemented as soon as possible.

President Michel Martelly also explained that the project plans to move six camps of internally displaced people into the 16 Port-au-Prince neighbourhoods they lived in before the quake.
According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) about 630,000 Haitians are still without homes.
