Water, Sanitation, and Waste Management
Providing clean water, modern sanitation, and effective waste management systems across all departments.
Key Challenges
Less than 50% of the population has access to clean water
Open defecation remains common in rural areas
No functioning municipal waste collection in most cities
Waterborne diseases remain a leading cause of child mortality
Key Questions for This Pillar
How can Haiti finance water infrastructure at scale?
What waste management models work for dense informal settlements?
Can circular economy approaches turn waste into economic value?
Comparative Example
Bangladesh
Bangladesh reduced open defecation from 34% to near zero in 20 years through community-led total sanitation (CLTS), a low-cost approach that mobilizes communities to build and maintain their own latrines without external subsidies.
Haiti 2077 invites citizens, professionals, diaspora members, and organizations to contribute structured proposals addressing the challenges and opportunities within this pillar.
