Programme to Prevent Natural Disasters by Environmental Protection and Employment Creation in the Gonaïves Region: Demonstrating GREEN JOBS!

This slide presentation introduces a programme to prevent natural disasters in the Gonaïves Region (Haiti). Environmental protection and employment creation are essential elements of this strategy, whose specific objectives are: to contribute to setting up a management plan of the “Quinte Quinte River River” catchment area and its affluents to avoid future natural disasters similar to the “Jeanne hurricane”; to rehabilitate the extremely fragile and weakened environment of Gona Gonaïves by implementing water and soil conservation schemes using labour-based techniques.
