Haiti
Humanitarian Assessments
We assisted UNICEF in 2004 to identify opportunities and needs for investment in human capacity as part of the reconstruction program.
Reconstruction and Capacity Development Among Health Workers
We intend to assist McMaster's University to support the Haitian national university school of nursing. This was not possible during the unstable period prior to 2006 elections. Now that this period is over, we hope to develop activities to support our Haitian colleagues and their school of nursing.
