Abstract

The Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (Strategy) is a cross-sectoral strategy with national coverage that entered into force in 2008 and was implemented until 2010. The Strategy articulates the vision and resources required to lift Haiti out of poverty and destitution, and it has the following priority pillars: growth vectors, human development, and democratic governance. These three pillars are supported by twelve targeted or cross- cutting thematic areas, namely: gender equity; human rights; the environment; disaster and risk management; combating HIV/AIDS; scientific and technological innovation; childhood poverty; youth employment; local border development; and capacity-building.
