Development Gateway announced the AMP to Haiti in November
2012
Began with:
◦ Geocoding the activities of several
donors in Haiti (USAID, World Bank, IADB, Canada, EU, etc.)
◦ Enabled an analysis of aid flows in each sector
◦ Trainings of staff and donors
26
27.
Goals:
◦ Increase potable water
access to 85%
◦ Increase assess to improved
sanitary and hygiene facilities
to 90% of population
◦ Strengthen healthcare
facilities to care for 80% of the
population
◦ Increase solid waste
collection to 90% in Port-AuPrine and 80% in secondary
cities
Short Term:
◦ Emergency measures: ORT
◦ Community health agents
◦ Vaccinations
The annual cholera
incidence rate in Haiti is
reduced from 3% to 0.5%
80% of the population
washes their hands after
defecating and before
eating

The Inter-agency Real-Time Evaluation of the
Humanitarian Response to the Darfur Crisis
◦ launched by the United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator
◦ found that the 2004 crisis response in Darfur was delayed and
inadequate mainly due to the inability of aid agencies to
mobilize and coordinate
Improve internal perceptions of aid
◦ . A randomized study of 3,600 Ugandan citizens found that
nearly 80% of respondents reported that they had not directly
benefited from aid, and nearly two-thirds of participants
believed that more than half of aid dollars were not spent as
intended. United Nations Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs.

Need for:
◦ Transparency
Preserve integrity of aid
◦ Reduce duplication of projects
Vertically and geographically
◦ Minimize cross-purposes
purposes that undermine the objectives of other projects
◦ Increase value of projects
Prevent fragmentation of aid

cholera cases cost between US$28 and US$206, depending on
hospitalization. Patients' cost of illness as a percentage of average
monthly income were 21% and 65% for hospitalized cases in
Kolkata and North Jakarta, respectively.”

39. -Model of most effective combinations of WASH and OCV- yay!
-“The rate of intervention coverage extension had the largest effect on cases of
cholera averted”
-”If in this scenario, effective OCV coverage were allowed to reach 50% at year 5, and
then decrease at a constant rate to 5% at year 20, an additional 23,933 (95,519
cases) would be averted (Table 5).”
“Over the next two decades, scalable WASH interventions could avert 57,949–78,567
cholera cases, OCV could avert 38,569–77,636 cases, and interventions that
combined WASH and OCV could avert 71,586–88,974 cases. Rate of
implementation is the most influential variable, and combined approaches
maximized the effect.”

“Cholera vaccination campaign contributes to improved
knowledge regarding cholera and improved practice
relevant to waterborne disease in rural Haiti.”
-Oral cholera vaccination campaigns have been associated with
increased awareness and hand washing/ water treating in Haiti.
OCV can be paired with education and have increased benefits.

44. Ivers et al. 2012:
-OCV rollout has benefits to infrastructure : “The capacity of the health system in the region is being
reinforced by the cholera vaccination programme through the promotion of the national childhood
immunisation campaign; community health workers have been trained to better prevent and, failing that,
refer cases; cold chain capacity has been expanded; and a new vaccine has been delivered through the
public sector vaccination programme.”
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673612608320
The WASH infrastructure provides a long-term, sustainable solution for prevention of cholera.12 Evidence
from Europe and North America over the past two centuries, and more recently from Latin America,
demonstrate that as water and sanitation coverage improves, the risk of epidemic or endemic cholera
transmission is greatly reduced.12,14,15 WASH also prevents the transmission of many other diarrheal
diseases, which in Haiti, as in many developing countries, is a leading killer of children less than five
years of age.32,33 The overall benefit of expanding WASH coverage extends far beyond its effect on
cholera alone.

45. The OCVs should help reduce the burden of cholera while WASH coverage is expanded, given the
considerable amount of time required to improve WASH infrastructure (e.g., piped water and
sewers). However, an OCV program should not be considered as a long-term alternative
substitute for WASH. Implementation of OCVs will present its own challenges. Currently
available OCVs are not 100% efficacious, induced immunity wanes over time thereby requiring
periodic booster dosing, and today's globally available OCV supply is not sufficient to vaccinate
the entire Haitian population with the required two-dose regimen. In addition, evidence from the
routine childhood expanded program for immunizations and recent nationwide vaccine
campaigns in Haiti has demonstrated varying ranges of coverage.34–37

46. “For every $1 U.S. dollar invested, an estimated $5–46 U.S.
dollars in economic benefits results, depending on the particular
WASH intervention.34 Haiti's National Plan to eliminate cholera
provides an outline of how such health and economic benefits might
be achieved: investment, coordination, and capacity
building.”

Vermicomposting toilets, an alternative to
latrine style microbial composting toilets,
prove far superior in mass reduction,

48. “Oral rehydration, intravenous rehydration and antibiotic therapy were given to 99.5%, 85% and
97.77% of patients, respectively. Only one hospital death was noted. The low case fatality rate
was mainly due to the following factors: the high quality of care provided in a center with qualified
personnel and available and free of charge treatment kits, protocols based on massive
rehydration and appropriate hygiene measures, and patient compliance with the treatment plan.
The response was also characterized by good coordination, wide mass and local health
promotion, and selective antibiotic prophylaxis, which contributed significantly to reducing the
spread of the infection.”

49. - “The factors responsible for rapid spread in Haiti include: longstanding water and sanitary inadequacies in Haiti; the further
disruptions to water and sanitary systems imposed by the
earthquake; above average rainfall; high water and ambient
temperatures; and insufficient capacity of the government
infrastructure to respond to the crisis.”

50. -“As a result of the 2011 earthquake in Haiti, almost 280,000 internally
displaced people (IDPs) remain in camps and another 200,000 are living
with host families or in informal settlements. Many of the IDPs in these
informal settlements have been forcibly evicted from camps. This
situation is likely to continue in 2014, while the precarious conditions in
the existing IDP camps are bound to pose significant protection risks,
particularly sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).”
-as many as 2 million Haitians lack documentation (personal ID papers) and
are at risk of becoming stateless upon leaving Haiti

51. The ten-year cholera eradication plan also envisions a strengthening of the public
health sector and of the coordination between NGOs and the government. To
this end, the government plans to “integrate their support into the national
health system.” Through investments in training, capacity building and by
channeling funds through the domestic institutions in charge of each sector, the
plan aims to create a stronger public sector overall. This could be especially
significant given that aid for the cholera response (and for the overall relief and
reconstruction effort) has largely bypassed the Haitian government. According
to data from the U.N. Special Envoy, only 2.5 percent of humanitarian
spending for cholera went through the Haitian government. As noted in the
plan, the “lack of investment coming directly from the country’s fiscal budget
represents a threat to the stability of the” water and sanitation sector.

52. AMP software works by replacing the Ethiopian government’s cumbersome collection of
faxes,
spreadsheets and emails with a virtual workspace where the government, its donors and its
agents in the field can share
information on aid flows and the activities they support – from planning through
implementation,
to monitoring and reporting. With simple, web-based technology, AMP also establishes a
process for standardizing the data that is loaded into the system and retrieved from it.
The consolidated information is managed by the government, enabling detailed analysis
and reporting, as well as scenario-building, scheduling and knowledge management.

56. The U.N. historically has addressed the scope of
its liability in peacekeeping operations
through Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs)
signed with host countries.
The Haitian government signed such an
agreement with MINUSTAH in 2004. In this
SOFA, the U.N. explicitly promises to create
a standing commission to review third party
claims of a private law character.

The platform was introduced in response to the international community’s call for more effective aid management as the Rome and Paris Declarations on Aid Effectiveness and Harmonization synthesized in 2005. However, it has since been implemented in 21 countries, on four continents with the main goal of allowing donors and governments to visually see where aid is concentrated, where it is lacking, and where projects overlap.
The integrated GIS module leads to the production of maps and promotes the intuitive exploration of available aid. Users can locate specific project locations as x, y coordinates and authoritative data is introduced to provide administrative boundaries for geographic spaces. A database serves as the backbone of an interactive map that displays the locations of the inputted projects. In addition, AMP has four components that aim to increase collaboration among international actors including a monitoring and evaluation dashboard, a national planning dashboard, a data exchange, and budget integration.
