Paul Collier’s Report (2009)
Haiti’s fundamentals are highly propitious:It is not part of a troubled regionIts neighbors are peaceful and prosperous and not engaged in support to guerilla groupsHaiti is free of typical structural problems: it is not ethnically divided, does not have a history of deep ideological cleavage, no longer has a military establishment with delusions of a political role.

Rand Report…“Changing the Political Culture”
“Haiti’s poverty, like its governmental weakness, is a product of its political culture.
Any effort to build a stronger, more resilient Haiti, one that is less dependent on external help, will depend on changing that culture.”

Building back better?A Necessary Paradigm Shift
From a political culture based on nepotism, clientele, ineffective bureaucratic administration, politically motivated violence..
To a mentality of public service, institution building, fight against corruption, trust.

Paradigm Shift…
From a rent-seeking economy based on venality, lack of vision, elitist posture, dependency, deals, archaic legal system…
To an understanding of the role of human capital, education, skilled labor, new legal environment, risk taking investments in wealth creation.
