Prospective LOKAL Interventions in the Communes of Carrefour, Cité Soleil, Delmas & Port‐au‐Prince

This report identifies opportunities for capacity building to support improved municipal governance in four communes of the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. During its initial months of operation, LOKAL worked primarily with 11 targeted communes outside the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. At its present stage of implementation, the project seeks to tailor its approach to the special needs of Haiti’s largest and most highly urbanized region, the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. This area contains over a third of the nation’s population and 70% of the country’s urban population. Urban communes targeted for LOKAL services include the four largest of eight communes within the metropolitan area. See features of targeted communes in the following table.
