8. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As in the whole of remote areas in Haiti, the people living in remote communities of Center department of country
have a miserable life. Unemployment is one of the burning issue among youth. Due to lack of right skills, the poor
people unable to utilize the available local resources. As a fact, in nearby communities inside or outside, even though
there would be a job opportunities available, they would not be able to apply because skilled and efficient manpower is
not available to meet the existing job demand. The poor people includes, the fishers, physical laborers and farmers,
are forcible migrated to different places in Dominican Republic or Chile, and working as a daily labors, construction
workers, cooks, brick workers and daily wages. The girls and women have physically and sexually harassed by
contractors. They are living in precarious conditions, getting very low wages and are high risk to be infected by HIV/AIDS
too. Based on these problems, community request letters, AJFPD'H designed a project proposal in association with
community partners and local authorities titled “improve life to 850 families in Center of Haiti” where there will be
Enhancing and Employability Development among remote areas with the motto of “Building skill &Creating
Opportunities”.
The overall objective of the project is to enhancing the employability to 250 disadvantaged youth through vocational
and skill development trainings, as well as 200 farmers, 10 community development groups (200 women) and 200
another people who are not engaged in agricultural activities, through capacity building and capital support. The project
directly supports 850 beneficiaries from poor background includes adolescent girls, youth, women and men in 6 remote
localities. The activities mainly includes vocational and skill trainings on Mobile phone repairing,
Plumbing/Electrical, Handcraft, Driving, Cooking/Hairdressing, and Information Technology. We plan also to form small
community development groups (CDG), initiate and register a Self-help cooperative society (S-HCS) and provide initial
capital to support various livelihood opportunities. For the youth, after the training, they will be placed in various private
companies, and established micro enterprise to enhance their employability as well as livelihood security.
This project will also promote alternative livelihood opportunities by using baseline and Participatory Rural Appraisal
(PRA) information to identify the existing alternate livelihood opportunities as well as vocational skill building
requirements. Few alternate livelihood opportunities such as dairy farm, goat rearing, community fair shops, and other
micro enterprises could be explored. However, the project will emphasize on the demand from the target groups with
regard to alternate livelihoods and support accordingly. Capital support to be given to poor families for purchasing of
cows, goats, establish community fair shops, in collective approach. If needed, once the alternate livelihood
opportunities are identified and finalized by the groups, the project proposes to organize skill building trainings.
Especially the training on dairy farm, cow breeding, goat rearing, community fair shops, and chicken garden, with
emphasis to provide seeds and grants as initial support.
Creating networking with financial institutions is essential, to establish and increase micro-credit linkages for Community
Development Groups. With a committee that contains 10 people (1 persons from each CDG/President), under the
regulation of the local authorities (Mayor, CASEC and ASEC), we will create a Self-Help Cooperative Society. This
entity will receive training on cooperative financial and management procedures, workshop on government livelihood
entitlements, networking for building marketing linkages as well as training on organizational development and
management. The self-help cooperative society will have a permanent mission to support poor people particularly
women of the communities in developing their own income generating scheme as well as to create better marketing
opportunities for the CDGs. The society will network with various marketing agencies and also make efforts to explore
other market avenues for selling of CDGs products.
In long run, centers for ongoing vocational training for the youth in vulnerable areas established in agreement with
various training institutes, 850 poor families work toward to raise out of poverty, a registered Self-help cooperative
society in place to promote marketing, financial and non-financial services to the poor people.
Studies show a Haitian population where the people complete high school education or a vocational training , and the
families may respond to their basic needs, poverty in Haiti would drop by more than 50%. This means less crime, less
social inequality, less investment in social programs in the future, more professional in the market and decreasing of
unemployment rate.

9. CONTEXT/JUSTIFICATION
With a population of 10.4 million inhabitants, Haiti is also one of the most densely countries populated of the Caribbean.
While 22 percent of the total population live in Port-au-Prince, more than half (52%) of Haitians live in rural areas and
the rest live in other urban areas outside the capital. Haiti’s strategic position in the middle of the Caribbean Sea near
the United States along with its young workforce, as well as its rich cultural heritage, offer a wide range of economic
and geopolitical opportunities. Despite all of this, the unsatisfactory agricultural production, health, education,
livelihood, are grossly inadequate to meet the needs of its population.
a. Political Factors :
The governments have launched numerous development activities to alleviate and eradicate poverty, illiteracy
and health hazard. However in the rural areas, these programs have not reached the people or in any way change or
affect their live. The majority of the people still cannot read nor write. They seldom get a single meal a day. The lack
or no health care prevents them to get treatment when they are sick. It is all due to poor administration and poor
governance. In these areas the people are not organized and are even unaware of an existing political system.
Consequently, they very rarely or never get Government support.
b. Economic Factors:
The people of these target communities though eligible for greater assistance and development programs by the
government remain alone not too sure of a future for themselves and their children. They are deprived of their basic
human rights like food, shelter, education, medicine, agriculture. Physical labor and collection of minor forest products
if any are the main sources of their income. The land suffers from low productivity due to traditional methods of
cultivation and lack of irrigation facilities. The land needs renovation measures since it is covered with boulders and
bushes. Since hills and forests surround it, the cultivable land is very less in comparison to the population. The per
capita income of the people is extremely low in comparison to neighboring island countries. The short yield increases
poverty and starvation even for farmer holding land up to 3-5 acres. The marginal and physical laborers are paid
meager wages of HTG 100 -200 because of the ignorance, illiteracy and lack of skills. Thus, people are living in abysmal
socio- economic condition. In search of work, many young boys and girls even adults are involved in illegal activities
inside their origin areas or migrate to larger cities; mainly the capital where they are obliged due to basic human needs
to do unsociable and unacceptable activities. This innocent girls and boys subsequently become the victims of sexually
transmitted diseases like HIV/AIDS.
Today, Haiti remains the poorest country in the Latin America and among the poorest in the world, both in terms of
GDP per capita and human development. According to data from the World Bank, "more than half of the population
has an income of less than a dollar a day while 78% of the population lives on less than $ 2 a day. “This precarious
situation classifies the country as the poorest in the Americas and one of the poorest countries in the world with a GDP
of US $ 725 in 20111. Today in the middle part of 2016, this situation is even worst. This fact has a major impact on
many development aspect of the Haitian population such health, environment, social, economic, education, etc…

Today, since the deadline of MDGs, and the adoption of new 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
many services such livelihood in poor rural communities, good quality water, sanitation and hygiene practices remained
untouched or incomplete in more than 80% communities of the country. Based on AJFPD’H observations during the
past few years, we have targeted 6 localities in one Department (Center) which are still so far, remained to be raised
out of poverty. The reason is that after the earthquake, most of the NGOs are more focused in the West and
metropolitan regions and also in the Artibonite Department after the cholera outbreak instead of other regions of the
country.
c. Social Factors:
Illiteracy, ignorance, insufficient awareness and lack of organized effort appear to be the root cause of the major
problems of socio-economic, educational, health of these people. These areas are inaccessible and isolated from the
main roads. The people living in remote communities of Center department of Haiti are very poor. Unemployment
is one of the burning issue among youth. Due to lack of right skills, the poor people are unable to utilize the available
local resources. The poor people include the fishers, physical laborers and famers who are forcible migrated to different
places in Dominican Republic or Chile, and working as a daily labors, construction workers, cooks, brick workers and
daily wages. The girls and women physically and sexually harassed by contractors. Many youth involve in illegal
activities such as prostitution, theft, kidnapping and so on to sustain their lives. Which is a major insecurity risk for their
regions and nearby areas. The main factor is after passing the level of secondary school, the youth are unable to join
in higher education and undertake a vocational training, due to financial crisis.
In this remote, interior area, there are no bus services and electricity. There are no proper road facilities. People have
to carry their goods on head loads or by shouldering to the market. Since there is no farmers market facilities, nearby,
they are compelled to sell their goods at lows prices. Ignorance of the people, negligence of Government authorities
and interference of middleman are causing factors of the miserable life of the people.
d. Legal factors:
In these areas, a few registered NGOs only are working on various projects like: education, health and environment.
At the community level, registered cooperatives and other community based organizations are not available for
sustainable development of the people. AJFPD’H is being one of the NGO legally recognized and member of Haiti
Cluster Group, plans to respond to the crisis are described above seeking actively for sustainable donors.

The initiative was originated from observations throughout the years and more recently from the target communities.
During AJFPD’H field visits and community meetings, the villagers requested that AJFPD’H undertakes development
projects on various social issues on the form of verbal and written requests. Based on the priority of the needs and
demand from the community, AJFPD’H has taken initiative to design a community based sustainable project to address
the poverty issues for sustainable development of these poor and remote communities. The program mainly focuses
on women empowerment, vocational training on various professional training trades, vegetable farming and alternative
livelihood options such as: capital and tools support, creating community assets, networking and building community
based institutionalist.
Vocational training
In economic terms, vocational education and training is always an investment in human capital. It only pays when the
costs of the investment are at least covered by its return in the broadest sense (benefits). If the benefits of an investment
in initial and continuing vocational education and training are greater than the costs, then an increase in prosperity will
be the outcome for the individual and, under certain conditions, for the economy as a whole. Investments of this kind
increase the GDP, promote economic development and increase tax revenues for the state individual or society. In this
purpose, from the community baseline assessment, 250 youth (boys and girls) will be selected through a vulnerability
scoring method to attend a vocational training like plumbing/electrical, handicrafts, Cooking/Hairdressing, driving, car
repairing, cell phone repairing, and Information Technology.
