Haiti - Politic : 6 million Haitians still live with less than $2,5 per day 27/12/2014 11:14:14
In the introduction to this annual report, some key figures are put forward "According to the latest United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) report published in June 2014 by the Haitian government and the United Nations Development Programme for Development in Haiti, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty, i.e., on less than $1.25 a day, has declined. In terms of education, more than 88% of children now attend primary school. The prevalence of HIV/AIDS has been stabilised and 60% of young people use condoms during sexual intercourse.

The approach is inclusive and should generate employment for young people and a livelihood for the marginalised. It must integrate gender equality and women’s empowerment. In a changing world, UNDP is also working towards sustainable modes of consumption and sustainable production. It now places the protection and management of natural resources as a priority within the development agenda [...]" Download the full report "Haiti 2030 on the horizon" [PDF 28 pages] : https://www.haitilibre.com/docs/UNDP-HT-Repport2014_small_en.pdf HL/ HaitiLibre
