The Haiti Investment Forum is a project that seeks to bring members of the Washington policy community together with private investors in Haiti.  This event explored progress in the decentralization of Haiti's economy, focusing on recent investments in the North Coast region.  Attention was also given to the increasing use of public/private partnerships and continued efforts in rebalancing a fragile economy on the path to recovery.
