Violence Against Children in Haiti: Findings from a National Survey, 2012 (June 2014)

The Violence Against Children in Haiti survey systematically measures the prevalence and consequences of physical, emotional, and sexual violence against children.  VACS enhances countries' capacity to design, implement, and evaluate violence prevention programs and build successful child protection systems.

Violence Contre les Enfants en Haïti: Résultats d’une Enquête Nationale Réalisée en 2012

L’enquête sur la violence contre les enfants (VACS) réalisée en 2012 est la première enquête nationale sur la violence contre les enfants vivant en Haïti. Cette enquête, stratifiée a trois degrés, fournit des estimations séparées relatives aux expériences de violence sexuelle, physique et émotionnelle vécues par les filles et les garçons avant l’âge de 18 ans. Les résultats de cette enquête permettent aux institutions étatiques et civiles de formuler des programmes de protection de l’enfance, de prévention de la violence contre les enfants en Haiti.
Disaster Risk Reduction and Livelihoods (July 2013)
​
Disaster Risk Reduction and Livelihoods (July 2013)

From 2010 to 2013, the Feinstein International Center, with support from the US Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, conducted a three-country study of disaster risk reduction and livelihoods entitled "Disaster Risk Reduction and Livelihoods." The study sought to: 

• Improve the overall knowledge of the relationship between disaster risk and livelihood strategies; 

• Improve the understanding and gaps in knowledge, practice, and policy; and 

• Improve the impact of donor-funded DRR programs carried out by implementing agencies. 
 
In order to address these objectives, the study identified three case studies to capture as much breadth and variety of disasters as possible, including geographical areas, affected livelihood assets, and population groups.
 
The first category was the hazards that the case study would address. These include environmental and 
climatic hazards (all), tectonic hazards (Haiti), economic hazards (Haiti), and socio-political hazards (Nepal, Kenya). The second criterion is the type of livelihood assets addressed by programs, including physical (Nepal), natural (Nepal, Kenya), financial (Haiti, Nepal), human (Haiti, Kenya), and social/political (Nepal, Kenya, Haiti). The third was the population group (correlated with the livelihood group), and includes rural (Nepal, Kenya), urban (Haiti), and peri-urban (Haiti, Kenya). The last criterion was the geographic region, with one case each from the Latin America/Caribbean region (Haiti), one from Africa (Kenya), and one from Asia (Nepal).  
Disaster Risk Reduction and Financial Strategies of the Poor: Demand for, Access to, Impact of Cash in Haiti following the 2010 Earthquake (July 2013)

Disaster Risk Reduction and Financial Strategies of the Poor: Demand for, Access to, Impact of Cash in Haiti following the 2010 Earthquake (July 2013)

The Haiti Action Plan developed by the government of Haiti in 2010, following the earthquake that devastated the island nation, clearly states the importance of reducing the vulnerability of people living in the risk zones through disaster risk reduction and crisis management measures at a national, departmental, and local level (Government of the Republic of Haiti, 2010). In support of this Plan, this research endeavor sought to identify how low-income households in areas with diverse risk exposure have responded to the multi-hazard environment, and which enabling factors have influenced their decision making around financial resilience. By identifying coping strategies at the household and community levels, and the bottlenecks and facilitators of recovery, programming opportunities can be identified to support post-disaster recovery and mitigation of future crises.
Community-Based Well Maintenance in Rural Haiti (October 2012)

Community-Based Well Maintenance in Rural Haiti

This report, written by INURED Research Associate Dionissi Aliprantis, evaluates a new technology for providing water.  The technology, developed by Haiti Outreach (HO), is distinguished by a program training communities to manage wells.  The effects of training are identified by comparing HO's wells with wells refurbished by HO but subsequently managed under the status quo.  There are large differences in functionality after only one year (8.7 percentage points).  For policy-makers choosing between standard and community-based interventions, I quantify the tradeoff between equity (sporadically providing water to all) and efficiency (consistently providing water to most).  Aliprantis interprets the estimated tradeoff to strongly favor community-based interventions.
Violence Against Children Survey (VACS)

Violence Against Children Survey: Preliminary Findings, Haiti 2012 

The Violence Against Children Survey (VACS) systematically measures the prevalence and consequences of physical, emotional, and sexual violence against children.  VACS enhances countries' capacity to design, implement, and evaluate violence prevention programs and build successful child protection systems.

La VACS accroît la capacité des pays à concevoir, mettre en oeuvre et évaluer des programmes de prévention de la violence, et à développer des systèmes efficaces de protection de l'enfance.   
Mapping Justice and Rule of Law in Haiti (July 2012)

Mapping Justice and Rule of Law in Haiti: A Summary Report

Cartographie de la Justice et de l'État de Droit en Haïti: Note de Synthèse 

The Interuniversity Institute for Research and Development, in collaboration with the Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum (CPPF)/Social Science Research Council, held an inception workshop for its project Mapping Justice, Security, and Rule of Law in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on 19-21 July 2012.  The key objective of the workshop was to finalize the design of the Mapping Justice, Security and Rule of Law (ROL) project.  The workshop brought together thirty-five participants representing the Haitian government, Haitian civil society, and the international community with the goal of identifying research priorities and effective methods that would yield an evidence-base for future rule of law programs in Haiti.
