USAID/Haiti will host a Local Solutions Conference on November 20 and 21, 2014 in Cap Haitien and invites local development partners (NGOs, civil society organizations, and Haitian businesses) to learn more about “How to Do Business with USAID in Haiti.”

Why does USAID/Haiti want to work with local organizations?: Local organizations are well-positioned to address key development challenges in innovative ways through their first-hand knowledge of the Haitian economy. USAID strongly believes that a key to sustainable development lies in strengthening the capacity of local organizations. USAID highly encourages the participation of groups represented by or representing the rights of vulnerable people, including women, youth, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT), and persons with disabilities.
