SANTO DOMINGO. - A group of 26 Haiti organizations and social movements have become the first groups to openly denounce the planned formula for its reconstruction, at the center of the conference of donors concluded in Santo Domingo yesterday.

Speaking on Thursday  for the organizations, Colette Lespinasse said the plan excludes Haiti’s social players. and "that’s reason that the impulse for Haiti’s development can’t be conceived and instead restores a model which has been the cause for the more than one million displaced in the country."

She said Haiti needs a complete makeover of its model of development, one which breaks with the social exclusion, economic dependency, an excessive centralization of power and in public services, and which implements a process to reorganize the physical space and rural areas.

The social movements Lespinasse represents called on the Haitians to stage a rally in that nation in April to deal with the challenges and define the strategies for the alternative reconstruction of a new country.

She said they’ll meet tomorrow with Haiti Prime Minister Jean Max Bellerive, to present him with their proposals and with whom they’ve already began a process of dialogue.

Lespinasse criticized that despite their ongoing process of dialogue with Haiti’s government, they’ve yet to be included in the table of the donor countries.
