On May 22, USIP hosted a conversation that challenges the prevailing narratives of failure surrounding Haiti and its development. The discussion examined how international partnerships have been strategically tailored to meet Haiti's unique challenges and offered a fresh perspective on how Haiti’s allies can better partner with Haitian institutions and communities to replicate and scale that success today.
