Economics-How to Rebuild Haiti after the Quake

    In class I had to pick an article about a country that had economic challenges or economic changes.. I picked this article about Haiti earthquake that occurred in 2010. In the year 2010 no one of Haiti would ever forget this tragic day that destroyed billions of dollars that was lose of the massive earthquake it this country or island in the Caribbean. This was a low population country that lost 200,000 plus people on the day people wont forget. It was where millions of people who became homeless, who lose jobs, and a country that was just devastated by a national disaster. Many federal buildings, jobs, and all other aspects of this country was deduced by this catastrophic disaster. Many challenges arise by not enough food for the citizens of Haiti, providing housing by the government, and most of all clean water. There was many debated on how to rebuild the country and discussions on how to bring about future prosperous endeavors for a country that could have a stable future to come. Many international organizations was at Haiti aide to help this country grow back by first of all the government could not replace by any of these aid organizations.  The public of Haiti's sector has to be strengthened in order to provide the proper help and resources for the Haitians. This was a very great reason because no government was not going to come back until the public is strengthened. Until the government was ready to do its functions as it was intended to do so in the end. Also , Haiti country director for CARE international that many aided organizations and elections are not necessary in this case because the country at that state needed better tools which means a successful community economic and social developments by the people and leaders.  There needs to be big donations and investments as part in putting back Haitian to work in order to rebuild this country.

     In building back this country this means adding educational institutions such as schools, hospitals, and public services in getting the government back up there. Not even 30% estimated of the money that was donated only was for the recovery in 2012-2011 period. Many of this money was not even reach by all of the population and the quality of these resources was not up there it was still poor. As it in the beginning of my first paragraph the Haiti's public sector needs to become better until the government has the proper tools for the need of the population which it will remain or call the "republic of NGOs". The $10.2 billion that was promised for a massive job creation in order for the citizens to have many good jobs for descent employment which meant a big increase in moving the country forward as one union of population.  These jobs were clearing rubble, reconstruction of federal buildings, and planting trees. Millions of Haitians was still living in many camps up to date that used a lot of the capital of Haiti's space. Many conditions was still unsafe and not a very healthy which spread illnesses and diseases. Many had to sacrifice this because there was no where for anyone to go without the proper housing to live in. Without a public section there was no way for proper housing, healthcare, education, jobs, and other basic public resources.
