Book excerpt: In April 2009, multilateral and bilateral donors pledged $353 million to support Haiti's plan to alleviate poverty, mitigate effects of natural disasters, and achieve sustained economic growth. Expanding opportunities that enable people to fulfill legitimate aspirations is sine qua non for Haiti's brighter future. In order to expand opportunities, development programs must act in concert to alleviate poverty; lessen inequality in health, education, and rule of law; strengthen institutions; build partnerships; address rural neglect and consequent vulnerabilities; and alter attitudes that place personal or group interests above the national good.
