Beyond reconstruction: re-envisioning Haiti with equity, fairness, and opportunity:

This paper addresses the decisions already being implemented in Haiti on relief, reconstruction and recovery, and calls for a 'build back better' approach. It sets out some basic rules and principles for the reconstruction process, and highlights some of Oxfam’s concerns from the first two months of what will be a decade of effort. It then explores how to improve the effort to address the most urgent needs of poor Haitian men and women as they struggle to rebuild their lives.
