780 million for the territorial recasting

English version (translation):

The territorial reshaping is one of the major reconstruction projects proposed in the Plan of Action for the recovery and national development of Haiti. Pending projects, experts estimate that 780 million dollars are needed for financing the construction. The Nouvelliste offers a second article on the Plan of Action for the Rehabilitation and Development of Haiti (NADP)…

Haiti: In this area, Haitian and foreign experts present the reconstruction of areas devastated as one of action. "Following the devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010 which destroyed about 105,000 homes and damaged more than 208,000 other major urban works will allow the reconstruction of three main areas affected, either: the metropolitan area of Port-au- Prince, Leogane, Petit Goave and the Department of South East including Jacmel, experts say.

Designers NADP identifies several obstacles to overcome before starting the process of rebuilding areas devastated by the earthquake. This is the clearance and processing of debris to declare the legal aspects of public lands including the compensation of private owners, planning land use and urban planning, the setting place basic infrastructure such as storm water drainage; for accomplishing the work of sanitation, clean water, electricity grid, and finally the reconstruction themselves subject to proper building standards (earthquake standards, risk flooding etc.)..

In the area of clearing and processing of debris, experts say they see that work has already begun without a plan. "This means that it is very urgent to proceed with the identification of disposal sites, treatment of debris to recover usable parts and recycle them for immediate use," they wrote.

Regarding the reconstruction of devastated areas heavily, experts point out that the first decree was made public March 19, 2010 declaring certain perimeters of public response to the need for a new land after earthquake. This order applies to the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince, Croix-des-Bouquets and the town of Leogane.

In the field of reconstruction of public buildings, experts have merely stated: "The cycle of reconstruction of public buildings is well known and in this case, building codes and zoning regulations should be simple enough to apply. For the reconstruction of private property, they consider it necessary level of supervision without common measure with the existing situation.


Budgetary data for 18 months:

Management of debris 265 million, including 50 in budget support
Ownership of land: 500 million in cash flow *
Land use, urban planning: 5000000
Basic infrastructure: 500 million including 100 in budget support
Rebuilding public buildings: 10 million
Total 780 million including 150 in budget support
* Not included in the total due to cost recovery

Build a network of national transport

The Haitian state, through the Plan of Action for the Rehabilitation and Development of Haiti, proposes to create a national transportation network that will bring together all parts of the country. It (the road) constitutes, according to experts who delivered the plan, the motor program that brings together all development zones in the country, all district towns, and to ensure trade with the Dominican Republic.
"The establishment of the national transportation system makes possible a network of secondary roads from the main network facilitating access to all areas of the country, the document says. It is here that the inputs to the production happen, that the finished products around, the tourists have access to the cultural and geographic, that patients have access to networks and health services that students have access to networks education. It is also an essential condition, according to experts, for effective decentralization and de-concentration, including that of the state.

According to the estimation of Haitian and foreign experts, to supplement the grid road, to be built 600 kilometers of roads and bridges needed to open up entire regions.

Budgetary data for 18 months:
Routes to build: $ 30 million in 18 months and strong commitment to $ 600 million
Repair and maintenance: $ 150 million including $ 50 million in budgetary support
Total $ 180 million of which $ 50 million in budget support

Open the country on the world airports

Haiti can have up to now only one international airport in Port-au-Prince, which has also been heavily damaged by the earthquake. The days that followed the earthquake showed that the dependence on a single international airport makes the country vulnerable and severely crippled its ability to meet the needs of supply by air. With this sad conclusion, the Haitian government, through the plan submitted to the international community May 31, 2010, plans to rehabilitate and increase the capacity of the airport in Port-au-Prince and give the country two other international airports located near the cities of Cap Haitien and Les Cayes. Thus the three airports will be able to meet the needs of economic development and tourism.

Moreover, Haitian and foreign experts believe that port facilities in the capital did not meet the actual needs of the country's economic activities even before January 12. Its location is also problematic since it is located in downtown Port-au-Prince, where it blocks part of the long opening of the city to the bay of Port-au-Prince and the reallocation of the area for institutional, commercial and recreational more appropriate to a downtown building a modern capital.

"Moreover, the location does not allow its expansion needed for the expansion of traffic, or docking of boats at extremely large. It should be rebuilt in a more appropriate place to his duties, "we read in the PDNA. To overcome this problem, the experts propose the construction of two deepwater ports. "This will facilitate imports and exports and promote the emergence of industrial and commercial activities in other regions of the country. Other smaller ports will complement the domestic equipment, "they argued.

The funding of these infrastructures, according to the explanations provided in the PDNA should be done through public-private BOT (Build, Operate and Transfer).

Budgetary data for 18 months:
Repair pap airport: $ 70 million B.O.T.
New airport: $ 35 million B.O.T.
Ports: $ 14 million
Total $ 114M *
* Unaccounted for must be the subject of public-private partnerships
