Belinsky community-led reconstruction. Haiti’s need for community-led reconstruction Posted by Mark Belinsky on January 28, 2010 · 3 Comments The outpouring of support in response to the devastating earthquake has been astounding, with over $58 million being raised by Hollywood alone through the “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon organized by George Clooney. The European Union’s 27 nations are contributing $575 million. U.S. charities have raised $470 million for disaster. The U.S. is providing the largest slice of a global response that totals more than $1 billion in government pledges. Even with the Haitian government allegedly getting only 1 cent of every US aid dollar, it’s still $100 million dollars.
Haiti is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, consistently ranking in the top 10 along with the likes of Iran and Turkmenistan. What does this pot of gold of reconstruction money mean for what will actually happen on the ground? iHelp Will social media pressure continue to be applied from trending topics?
