Debating how to rebuild Haiti
Posted on Mar 18, 2010
What's the best way to rebuild Haiti following the earthquake? A recent report by Al Jazeera English focuses on this question and challenges models of development based on production of textiles for sale in the U.S. The report features interviews with Haitian economists, farmers and community leaders who propose investing in agriculture and other industries that serve the domestic market and the needs of the Haitian people. The segment also includes interviews with PIH physicians Maxi Raymonville and Evan Lyon (starting around minute 18:45) and highlights PIH's success in providing economic opportunities as well as quality health care.
