the photos

Blog entries
6 July 2010 One of the things I noticed in the past five months blogging is that you become very observant, even more so than I usually am. A lot of inspiration comes from the things you see around you, which makes you want to write about. Not all the photos I took necessarily fitted [...]

the report

Blog entries
5 July 2010 After every emergency – humanitarian speak for disaster – there will invariably be the look-back reports, one month on, two months on, three months on, one year on etc. We are busily preparing the six months on, at the moment, collecting facts, photos, case studies, to inform the public and especially the [...]

the road

Blog entries
27 June 2010 I have been very serious, the last week, and I didn’t post many pictures, so let me change tack a bit, and share one of my funnier photos of the last few weeks. If you remember I have been talking in an earlier contribution about concerns regarding the road to Jacmel, which [...]

the money

Blog entries
26 June 2010 We have all seen the appeals for Haiti, five months ago, and we have all been impressed by the generosity of individual people giving whatever they could spare. The national action in The Netherlands generated more than 60 mln Euros, and with a government match of 41 mln, that brings the contribution [...]

the insecurity

Blog entries
24 June 2010 It has been raining a lot, lately, and life in the camps must be miserable right now, more miserable even than before. But something else is happening, too, that makes camp life miserable. There are international standards that determine how much space each individual should have in an IDP camp, they are [...]

the clearing

Blog entries
13 June 2010 Somebody asked me the other day – not just somebody, it was the chair woman of the SHO, the collective that represents the Dutch emergency response agencies – why the humanitarian community had not collaborated all together to clear the rubble. Let’s all of us mobilise heavy equipment, and put our resources [...]

the politics

Blog entries
8 June 2008 Why is progress so slow in Haiti? I mean, after the earthquake, but in fact the question can also be interpreted in a general sense, like what happened in the past 200 years in this country; the answer is the same: politics. The standard view is that the Haitian government, as so [...]

the model camp

Blog entries
3 June 2010 A little heavy on photos, this time, but you must see this. Corail is the relocation camp about an hour’s drive north of Port-au-Prince, close to the town of Cabaret. Attentive readers will remember that I have talked about this camp before – the ghost town -, it was created some six [...]

the engineering works

Blog entries
2 June 2010 I have written about Cash-for-Work before. The idea is that people who have nothing else to do get a job and earn a little money for two weeks, with which they can go shopping so that they start to replace lost assets whilst at the same time stimulating the economy. It doesn’t [...]

the big brother

Blog entries
29 May 2010 A lot of studies have been carried out, related to Haiti and its post-earthquake situation. It is impossible to follow all of it, but one recent study is so interesting and innovative that I do want to share it here. There has been a lot of talk about the people that, immediately [...]
