Traditional development efforts – lacking a focus on systemic change and institution building – have too often failed in Haiti, breeding cynicism regarding large-scale development in the country, and leading people to ask if a bold development initiative can succeed in Haiti.
As opposed to most short-term development efforts in Haiti, Kolektif is building local leaders and strong institutions that can sustain this community development effort, is led by Haitian and local organizations with a successful track record in the country, leverages international expertise, and is focused on the long-term health of the community.
At a time when investment in Haiti is needed more than ever, Kolektif Arcadins will succeed by employing a systems-change approach and investing in the people’s vision for community development.
