Haiti is a resilient society whose rural communities in particular
have developed coping mechanisms in response to a long history of
underdevelopment and political instability. The country's
religious, cultural, and artistic life is highly diverse and
vibrant. Like other fragile states, however, Haiti is also beset by
widespread poverty, inequality, economic decline, unemployment,
poor governance, and violence. This Country Study examines Haiti's
conflict-poverty trap from the perspective of the triangle of
factors that have been identified as its main components: (a)
demographic and socioeconomic factors at the individual and
household levels; (b) the state's institutional capacity to provide
public goods and manage social risks; and (c) the agendas and
strategies of political actors. The report's three main chapters
explore the nature of these components. The closing chapter
considers the linkages among them.
