Mission

from website: The United Nations Office of the Special Envoy for Haiti (OSE) and the Inter-American Development Bank’s Multilateral Investment Fund (FOMIN) launch the Haiti Civil Society Organization Portal
The Haiti Civil Society Organization Portal Initiative The United Nations Office of the Special Envoy for Haiti (OSE) and the Inter-American Development Bank’s Multilateral Investment Fund (FOMIN) have developed the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) Portal that will enable CSOs operating in Haiti to inform each other about their activities and report on their current status and needs. Before the January 12 earthquake, the Office of the Special Envoy had worked closely with the Government of Haiti's Ministry of Planning and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) to compile a directory of over 800 civil society organizations working in Haiti, both local and international entities, in areas ranging from agriculture, women's programmes, economic development, water and sanitation, children and youth. After the earthquake, this initiative has become even more pressing as it is critically important that CSOs can effectively support the relief and recovery process. The directory is meant to help facilitate international cooperation and knowledge sharing. It is designed to help anyone seeking information about not-for profit organizations working in different sectors of Haiti.
