SINCE 2010 I HAVE COORDINATED A RESEARCH PROJECT IN HAITI FOR THE INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH ON DEVELOPMENT (IRD). The first results can be found in the official survey report and more details here below. |
An extended fieldwork
As part of a programme supported by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and the World Bank, I spent more than one year on the field to participate in designing the Post-Earthquake Living Conditions Survey (ECVMAS), recruiting and training 150 enumerators and coordinating the survey. During 6 months, mid-2012, the survey was conducted among 20,000 people country-wide. Pooled with the information of a previous survey conducted in 2007, we have two snapshots, 2 years apart, which enabled us to identify the differences pre- and post-earthquake, particularly concerning the labour market. Although the observed changes cannot be attributed solely to the earthquake – other shocks have occurred in between – the official survey report offers a glimpse of the general trends in Haiti today. At the same time, I implemented and coordinated a panel survey, tracking and re-interviewing the nearly 600 households surveyed in 2007 in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area.
