Katye: Rebuilding a Neighborhood in Haiti

Katye: Rebuilding a Neighborhood in Haiti
As part of an integrated approach, Global Communities implemented the groundbreaking USAID-funded Katye urban reconstruction program in the neighborhood of Ravine Pintade, in Port-au-Prince. The integrated approach provided rubble removal and shelter building services, while working with the community to plan for green spaces, plots for schools, and proper access roads to cover the basics of sustainable urban improvement. Returning people to their own communities reduces violence, crime and disorder; facilitates access to employment and maintains community cohesion. By targeting every aspect of urban development, the Katye program can serve as a blueprint for future disaster recovery initiatives around the world.
