Description: Haïti est considéré comme l’un des pays les plus vulnérables aux catastrophes dans le monde. Avant le séisme dévastateur de 2010, l’indice de risque de catastrophes pour Haïti était déjà parmi les plus élevés. Cet indice tend à augmenter avec les conséquences des changements climatiques, la dégradation environnementale et le développement urbain anarchique. Tout évènement fragilise considérablement les ressources du pays, augmente la vulnérabilité de la population et aggrave l’impact de crises futures.

Description: The database leading to the following visuals aims at characterizing the main actors of the “Geneva international” in the water sector. As of early October 2014, the database counts 52 actors, characterized by 88 numeric and alpha-numeric variables. The three main data sources are Internet search, semi-directed interviews and various exchanges with certain actors. This collection is not exhaustive, and is still growing, but our analysis already leads to convincing results which can be interpreted as guidelines to focus the Geneva Water Hub’s activities.

Description: The entry into force of the Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses (United Nations 1997 Convention) on 17 August 2014 constitutes a major milestone for water international law development. This Convention was adopted on 21 May 1997 by the United Nations’ Member States of the General Assembly. Seventeen years were necessary for thirty five countries to ratify it as stipulated by Article 36 of the Convention1. The extended elaboration process of the Convention within the United Nations, from 1974 to 1997, as well as the delay before its entry into force, reflects the reluctances of Member States to be tied by a universal framework in terms of the management and protection of international watercourses.

Description: Atteindre le développement tel qu’on l’envisage, c’est-à-dire inclusif et durable, va au-delà de la recherche de l’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes. Si l’égalité des sexes est une condition sine qua non de développement, la définition d’un partenariat entre les hommes et les femmes est également un moyen indispensable pour obtenir des résultats palpables dans les différents secteurs, qu’ils soient politique, économique, social ou environnemental. Ce partenariat doit permettre aux pères, mères, filles et fils, soeurs et frères d’avancer ensemble vers une société plus juste et qui offre des chances égales à tous.

Description: En 2000, la République d’Haïti et 188 autres pays du système des Nations Unies se sont engagés pour construire à l’horizon 2015 un monde sans pauvreté. Un monde où, grâce à la scolarisation universelle, il y aurait l’égalité des chances pour les filles et les garçons tant à l’école que plus tard dans la vie socio-économique et politique, un monde où les mères meurent moins en donnant la vie, un monde préservant l’avenir des générations futures à travers la conservation des ressources naturelles, un monde plus équitable, plus juste et plus solidaire envers les pays en voie de développement. Les huit objectifs qui en découlent ont été intégrés comme priorités nationales en Haïti.
