This grant is for establishing new, thriving communities within the Caracol-EKAM Housing Project, going beyond just infrastructure. The initiative aims to integrate crucial social, economic, and governance components, ensuring long-term prosperity for new residents. Over a 24-month period, the program will strategically build and strengthen institutions and processes at national, local, and community levels to guarantee sustainability. Success hinges on close collaboration with key entities such as EPPLS, the Government of Haiti’s Unite de Construction de Logements et des Batiments Publics (UCLBP), local government representatives, and existing community groups in the area. This endeavor is for fostering self-sufficient and resilient neighborhoods.
