The goals of the trip were to ascertain 1) the status of recovery/reconstruction efforts and how they are impacting migration flows in Haiti and in the region; 2) the impact of the earthquake and its aftermath on vulnerable populations, including women and children; 3) the role of civil society and the Haitian Diaspora in the rebuilding and development efforts in Haiti; 4) how the policies of the U.S. and neighboring countries are affecting displaced Haitians; and 5) resources on the ground that are best positioned to assist in the reunification of families, particularly those with family members evacuated to the United States.
