This report aims to scale-up women’s participation in recovery and reconstruction of Haiti and asserts that gender equality principles must guide all aspects of disaster mitigation, response and reconstruction. It is a response to Haiti’s National Plan of Action, the blueprint guiding reconstruction efforts and resource allocation, based on a Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), resulting from a two month process led by the Government of Haiti and involving more than 250 people from the United Nations, the World Bank, the European Union and the Inter-American Development Bank, but failing to address gender dimensions of Haiti’s proposed strategies for reconstructing macroeconomic, social, environmental policies, as well as infrastructure and governance.
