The Diaspora sends about $1 billion every year in Haiti. While these contributions are important and helpful, they cannot be categorized as investments. This session will explore how Diaspora’s Direct Investment in Haiti can redefine the country’s economy and create a path toward economic development. Furthermore, it will highlight investment opportunities in Haiti in key sectors and the role of innovative financing in promoting economic development and eradicating poverty.
