U.S. Assistance To Haiti:

Progress Made, Challenges Remain

Although Haiti remains one of the world's poorest
countries, development progress is being made
through U.S. economic assistance administered by
the Agency for International Development (AID).
Since GAO's last review in 1981, AID has achieved
positive results by increasing its use of non-govern-
mental organizations and by influencing policy
changes through food assistance. Theseefforts have
been aided by Haiti's increased commitment to
development.
Despite this progress, challenges remain which can-
not be met without sustained development efforts.
Economic and political constraints slow the pace of
development and ineeddpolicy changes. GAO recom-
mends that AID (1) assm thesdequacy of its over-
sight and technical assistnce to small community-
implemented projects  id fbod assistance pro-
grams, an   ncourage aitian and donor officials
to exami      r how to meet the growing costs
of opera    d maintaining completed develop-
ment pr
AID is taking actions to implement GAO's recom-
mendations.
