Haiti 2030: A country without extreme poverty
- Everyone knows that since the year 2000, Haiti has endured repeated political and natural disasters, each of which has caused growth to plummet for a given period. What we now know, however, is that during this same period – in spite of these disasters -- Haiti has also managed to reduce extreme poverty. This represents significant progress and should be celebrated as an indicator of progress, and as evidence that with a continued push, Haiti could eliminate extreme poverty.
