“Traditional economic strategies and international development strategies have failed in Haiti states Marie-Rose Romain Murphy. Development processes which have been controlled by international stakeholders have not involved Haitian communities in their formulation. When Haitians take the lead in developing solutions to the challenges we face, we will transform Haiti. It is impossible to keep using the same approaches and expect to get different results.”
