Port-au-Prince.– The US$15 million Haiti received from the Inter-American Development Bank will help modernize the country’s agricultural policies and institutions.

The grant will be complemented with a $7 million grant from the Haiti Reconstruction Fund. Part of the reforms will include a push to strengthen Haiti’s Ministry of Agriculture to carry out its planning, programming and budgeting functions and to improve its management capacity.

The IDB is currently using grants to finance projects totaling more than US$200 million in Haiti, including crop intensification, irrigation and farming technology, among others.

Haiti will also promote new laws to assign legal status to water user associations, enabling farmers to manage and maintain irrigation systems.

"Thank GOODNESS Haiti s illiterate older population is dying out they make make up 20.%"

Sounds like you favour human purification. How can you say that ? I have to believe it was an honest miss quote.....I could just see it now if a Dominican were to say that.

Blacks can use the "N" word to describe each other "IG" or "GA" all they want, but even I get offended and I'm not black.

A lot of mass murder's like Mao, Stalin and Hitler used a WORDS LIKE "fixation" to solve their society's problems.

ALL HUMANS HAVE THE SAME WANTS AND NEEDS and should never be classified and used to pitt one class of people against the other like what Obama is doing in America were more divided in color then ever before, that's all.

It's all about culture and tradition, personally I find nothing wrong with this in fact I respect tradition.
We must focus on what's in the inside for that never changes.

Some of us are so Educated we became ignorant your first post is a reflection of that. Haitian like you are the reason Haititi is where it is, kind of remind me of why I prefer the art of work of Diuedone Cedor over Leganier. Your mind set is what been used as a vehicle for people like Francois Duvalier & Aristide to come to power which only cost us about 50 years of retardation as a whole. Sadly it is the greater thinking of the Haitian elite whom Collin Powerl upon his visit to Haiti simply refer to as morally repugnant group In case you don't know those people you find offensive in the above pictures have been the backbone of the Haitian economy their are it's best asset people who are not afraid of hard work. They are Haiti's number one export and yes I do live in the Hills above PetionVille.
