520 3    |a This document outlines the work of the United Nations in Haiti during 2011. It presents an overview of the situation, progress, and results achieved in 11 key areas: internally displaced persons; structural assessment and debris management; reconstruction; stabilization and security; governance and administration; natural disaster risk preparedness and response; environment; education; employment and economic development; health; and elections. In the months following the earthquake, UN Agencies and the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) developed a UN Integrated Strategic Framework (ISF) for Haiti with the objective of supporting peace building, recovery, and long-term development. According to the report, the total number of displaced persons went down to 520,000 from 1,500,000 during the period of July 2010 to November 2011. As one of the objectives is to assist the affected population in returning to their neighborhoods, the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC), the United Nations, and the concerned ministries developed a Housing and Neighborhoods Reconstruction Support Program. The report notes the increased number of crimes reported to the police despite the increased number of duly trained police officers and monthly police patrols. According to the report, thirty-six local platforms were established with MINUSTAH’s support, which aims to increase community participation in the follow-up on public policies and local budgets. Progress regarding disaster risk preparedness and response involved developing contingency plans, establishing evacuation centers, preparing seismic risk maps, joint simulation exercise, etc. A number of initiatives are being implemented in the education sector, including a Back-to-School campaign, school rehabilitation projects, and a National School Feeding program. UN agencies are involved in the implementation of hundreds of labor intensive projects and the opening of Youth Counseling and Employment Offices. According to the report, the 2010-2011 presidential and legislative elections have allowed, for the first time in the country’s history, a transfer of power from a democratically elected president to another from the opposition. The report concludes that working within an ISF founded on the main pillars of the Haitian government’s National Development Plan, the UN Agencies and MINUSTAH have made a concerted effort to collaborate together in their work with national counterparts, to optimize efficiency, and reduce transaction costs for all parties involved.
