Haiti - Social : Fighting Extreme Poverty in Bernagousse 14/02/2014 19:08:57
Data collected during this mission will be used to develop a special intervention plan that will reduce extreme poverty and improve access to basic social services in the communal section, which depends on the commune of Pestel The discussions took place the church St Dominique in the presence of the Mayor of Pestel, Brunel Alcégaire and its assessor Milot Bélance and representatives of the Board of the Communal Section Councils (CASEC), of members of the public and representatives of community-based organizations around four major themes : agriculture, education, health and drinking water. These exchanges have enabled the delegation to make an initial diagnosis of the socio-economic situation of the area. The absence of health centers is one of the main problems faced by the population of Bernagousse. Residents of this communal section, to have access to health care, have to travel more than 7km to get to Corail or Pestel. Patients are transported to the hospital, most often using stretcher. Starting next week, Cuban doctors will intervene in the area through the installation of mobile clinics to remedy this situation, pending the construction of health centers with pharmacy and other equipment. In the field of agriculture, the needs expressed by the population concerned the opening of bank credit, of inputs, agricultural tools and agronomists. Farmers also reported drinking water and other basic infrastructure problems. These complaints will be used to develop a special intervention plan for the communal section. HL/ HaitiLibre
