HAITI: QIPs et Cité Soleil

Depuis la fin de 2004, la MINUSTAH s'est efforcée de réaliser des projets dans ces quartiers, malgré les difficultés liées à la situation sécuritaire. Au total, 47 projets à impact rapide, les QIP, ont été mis en œuvre dont 28 à Cité Soleil et les 19 restant, respectivement au Bel Air, à Solino, à Cité Militaire, à Martissant et à Carrefour Feuilles, pour un montant total de 571 293 USD. Plus de la moitié de ces projets ont été rendus possibles grâce à l'implication des militaires brésiliens, sri lankais et des UNPOL. La moitié des projets (22 sur 47) a permis de faire travailler les habitants à l'assainissement de leur quartier, en enlevant et recyclant les ordures. Dès que les quartiers étaient devenus plus sûrs, les QIP ont été consacrés à la réhabilitation d'équipements communautaires, en particulier, les écoles, les centres de santé et les espaces publics qui avaient été souvent saccagés. Deux sous- commissariats ont aussi été réhabilités à Cité Soleil et Martissant et six QIP ont permis d'améliorer la distribution d'eau ou de construire des latrines.
