Community Development and Capacity Building in the Haitian Diaspora
Location: Room 122
The Diaspora can serve as a bridge between Haitian communities living in host countries and in the motherland and has the power to strengthen both communities. How do we bring both communities together and build them up? What structures and programs can add value and create change in these communities? What mechanisms can be used to ensure sustainability and why is this important? These are questions that this session will seek to answer.
