About this facility

Mission

from website: IAT (International Action Ties) is a grassroots community development organization aimed at addressing the root causes of poverty by working towards structural change and community mobilization. IAT works together with marginalized and undeserved communities to design and implement minimal exterior-input community based infrastructure development programs. Through the provision of field mobilizers, who work directly alongside community members, IAT’s efforts address the interdependent areas of Education, Environment, Public Health, Social Equities, and Livelihoods. IAT has been working in rural Haiti since 2007, primarily in the Nippes Region, Petite Riviere de Nippes. Since the January 2010 earthquake, IAT has been in Port-au-Prince. Initially working on basic relief and distributions via community-based approaches, IAT is currently working on human rights monitoring in camps (with specific focus on forced expulsions), urban agriculture and rural-urban connections, and advocacy that promotes self-determination for the Haitian majority.
