The document proposes a strategic plan for a $3 billion UN Haiti Cholera Settlement Fund. The plan has three main components: 1) Compensation for cholera victims, 2) Improving water and sanitation infrastructure, and 3) Expanding access to medical services. For compensation, the plan proposes registering victims biometrically and providing direct financial payments. For infrastructure, it focuses on improving rural sanitation, training local leaders, and coordinating NGO efforts. For healthcare, the plan aims to expand community health worker programs, deploy mobile clinics, and increase the number of medical professionals. The overall goals are to eliminate cholera within 10 years and ensure universal access to clean water, sanitation, and basic healthcare for all

42. Risks & Limitations
• Difficulty adapting to the local beliefs and culture of Haitians
• Imperfect means of measuring true cholera cases for
compensation; instead address all claims in some way
• New Technology (Smartmatic)
• Human resources can’t keep up with goals
• Rural spread of the country – adapting the program,
decentralization is necessary, champion local leadership
• Match GNI: we must increase compensation if GNI increases
• Fragmentation of governance – emphasize importance of
education, local capacity/ownership

49. Alternative Solutions to Medical Access
• Providing health professionals who remain or relocate to
Haiti with ―hardship pay‖ from the fund to incentivize
capacity increases
• Direct investment in the Haitian health infrastructure by
PAHO/WHO; placement of a lab in Pétionville
• Investments in communication and transportation
(ambulance, regular bus) technology to increase access to
existing health infrastructure
• Increase depth and quantity of CHW training
49
50. Root Cause Analysis of Medical Access
• Only half of Haitians have access to health services
• Barriers to Access
– Physical Infrastructure
• The 2010 earthquake further damaged Haiti’s few and poorly
outfitted health centers.
– Transportation
• Over half of all Haitians live in rural areas, away from the
primarily urban hospitals and with little access to good roads or
vehicles.
– Human Resources
• Haiti has only 3 doctors and 1 nurse per 10,000 citizens, leading to
major understaffing. The WHO target is 23 health professionals
per 10,000 persons.1 This is due to both a lack of staffing and a
high level of ―brain drain.‖2

52. Costs of CHWs
• Starting package (phone, solar charger, data plan,
backpack)=$200, $272 yearly via Digicel Haiti
• Training=$6 per pupil, given 50 hours and 300 students
• Salary=$760 per year (based on average in country)
• Total: $206, then $1032 per year per worker
52
53. Overall Costs of Medical Access
• To run the 10 mobile clinics, we will need a $2,061,800
outlay for physical resources and initially training followed by
$309,600 to support a staff of 300 CHWs. We will fund
operations for 10 years, leading to a total cost of $5,157,800.
• For Clinical Officer training programs, to achieve an increase
of 50% on current capacity we would need to invest
$20,356,250. This includes a generous cushion for
localizing the existing program in Burkina Faso (leverage
Francophonie connection).
• $50,485,950 will be allocated to fund the harmonization of
the existing NGO health system under the MOH through
regular meetings, EMR roll-out, and technology transfer.

Faced the difficulty: how do you compensate for the health or life of an individual, the cost of a life is immeasurable. Still compensation is essential to addressing the past and moving towards reconciliation. To this end we’ve dedicated 500M of our budget towards the compensation of individual victims. For those who were hospitalized for Cholera, we are distributing $760 annual per capita income. For those who have passed away we are distributing around $22,800, which is compensation for about 30 years of work based on that same annual per capita income. In our appendix we’ve included a more complicated tiered system for compensating the death of a loved one or family member (based on High, Medium, Low Budget Allowances) (based on economic dependence upon that loved one elderly<child<working adult); For those without record of incident claiming cWe saw this compensation scheme not only as an apology to those affected by the cholera epidemic, but also as an opportunity to revitalize the economic base of the country and ensure thtat

The second component of our strategy is water quality and sanitation infrastructure. Water and sanitation have long been an in issue, even before the 2010 earthquake. Our strategy will address acute as well as long term needs.
Most households in rural Artibonite do not have access to a potable water supply. Reaching the 2015 MDG for water and sanitation in Haiti would require 74% coverage for improved water sources and 63% for improved sanitation. Despite the influx of international technical assistance and support from multilateral lending agencies such as the International Development Bank IDB?, Haiti’s efforts to improve water supply and sanitation fact other challenges such as a history of political conflict, fragmented governance, a lack of human resources, and physical environmental damage. Political conflict has interrupted significant NGO efforts to implementing water projects. Fragmented governance as well as the lack of human resources has hindered the ability to manage large coordinated projects. And despite funding and intentions to invest in infrastructure, physical damage caused most recently by the earthquake and poor farming practices has exacerbated the situation.
Our water and sanitation objectives aim to address needs across a 10 year time line with a focus on acute and long term needs. Above all, our objectives all serve to contribute to a sustainable framework. Community hygiene education as well as capacity building of national and local leaderships are intended to target behavioral changes that improve sanitation practices and the ability to manage large projects. Coordination of NGOs will serve to more efficiently and effectively allocate resources where they are appropriate. A partnership between Haiti’s DINEPA and a highly regarded water quality organization, Water.org will create demand driven sustainability.Source treatment infrastructure moves Haiti towards its long terms goal of sustainable and comprehensive coverage of access to potable waterAnd the establishment of a surveillance system ensures that continual monitoring will help Haiti respond to future water and sanitation needs.
Our proposed investments in water and sanitation are divided into three categories: Infrastructure and technology, human and technical capital, and education. Prior experience has shown that without capacity building efforts, the benefits from investments in water ans sanitation infrastructure and hygiene education will not be sustain. The combination of these three areas are intended to ensure that investments are made in sustainable sanitation services.
This gantt chart illustrates the action plan for improving water and sanitation across the proposed timeline. I want to call your attention to the short term actions. Firstly, in response to the acute need to disrupt cholera transmission, especially in the hard hit rural regions, we plan to implement appropriate rural tech and innovation such as DINEPA’s Potable Water and Sanitation Technicians for the Communes also known as TEPAC to coordinate WASH activities such as distribution of chlorination tablets. In addition, the immediate advertisement of the water.org partnership should be rolled out on radio stations to make people aware that they can solicit assistance in implementing water and sanitation projects. In the medium term, our strategy would then begin to respond to the solicitations from the water.org campaign. Having a demand driven structure greatly improves community ownership and tailoring to community needs to ensure sustainability of projects. In addition, the medium term actions would also include a scaling up of urban water treatment infrastructure. In the long term water.org would continue to provide assistance to help Haiti realize its 10 year national plan and move towards source treatment facilities rather than point of use treatment. I want to call your attention to the strategies that span the entire timeline such as education, capacity training, and surveillance. Education of the population and capacity building at the community healthworker, health facility, and government level are critical to success and sustainability of any of the above mentioned actions. These three strategies help to move DINEPA and Haiti’s government from a coordination role of NGO’s to a regulation role of the water and sanitation sector.
What should be built? Population density mattersA water treatment center that is appropriate for Port-au-Prince may not be best option for the Artibonite Valley. As such, infrastructure investments should reflect local conditions, and rural infrastructure investments may include creation of new cisterns, latrines, rainwater catchments, chlorination systems, and development of riparian buffers near water sourcesCommunity leadership criticalPhoto credit: http://otundefined.tumblr.com/post/49018842359/community-can-we-build-some-tippy-tapsAnd https://il-elgin3.civicplus.com/index.aspx?NID=197
General rule: new infrastructure investments are flawed if not done in tandem with considerations to long-term operations and maintenance, capacity of local/municipal services and leaders to deliver services and encourage effective behavior changes Current limiting factors besides infrastructure: inadequate institutional capacity and lack of technical expertise in WASH technologies and methodsCommunity-focus/leadershipBring better knowledge to communitiesEnable them to take greater ownership of their sanitation/hygieneLocal authorities need sufficient resources and technical capacity to support improvements EducationPhoto credit: http://www.worldwaterrelief.org/meet-our-in-country-team/Andhttp://enr.construction.com/buildings/haiti_reconstruction/2012/0206-seismic-training-efforts-help-haitians-help-themselves-.asp

Surveillance has always been one of the most difficult challenges for long-term success.Rural Water and Sanitation Information System (SIASAR) (SIASAR) is an innovative platform de- signed to monitor the development and performance of rural water supply and sanitation (WSS) services. SIASAR automatically produces rankings and summary reports that detail the performance of communities, infrastructure systems, service providers, and technical assistance providers. SIASAR data analysis is an ideal method of surveillance b/c uses a portable/ easy to use technology. Technical expertise in your pocket. Create a mobile platform and automate technical expertise.Standardizes method for communicating indicators Mapping data, and since everything is location-based, can generate data based on indicators. This standardizes the information and baseline assessments for stakeholders. Information on need, redundancy, threats, and impact.

This map shows the average water access in the Latin American and Caribean region. As you can see, the overwhelming majority of nations is on track to achieve the MDG goal and had rates of greater than 95% or was within 5% of meeting the goal. Haiti, highlighted in green was making progress but it was insufficient. The 2010 earthquake exacerbated the situation and Haiti now only has 64% of their population with access to improved water source. The urban rural divide is 78 and 48 respectively according to the WHO/UNICEF joint monitoring program
