From October 2012 to July 2013, The Committee of our Pilot
Region in the Grande Anse in Haiti conducted a Regional Planning Process.
Hundreds of community leaders from civil society, business, government and
religious sector participated in the planning process of the Region’s 12
communes. The Grande Anse is Haiti’s very much endangered last green
reserve and its bread basket.
Please allow us to share with you a community-building process
that we have used with success in the Grand’Anse, our Pilot Region — a process
which has been creating a movement.
FIRST PHASE:
Identify and connect the leaders of various sectors within each community, through an inclusive planning and building process, with the goal of creating and implementing a pro-active and comprehensive development plan that addresses short-term and long-term community-defined priorities.
SECOND PHASE:
Within a regional context, connect communities to each other and
encourage their sharing of information. Communities develop an awareness
of their common needs and goals, which enhances their ability to formulate
common solutions and work on them through collaboration.
