From Camps Transformation To Urban Revitalization (Catur Project) - Port-Au-Prince, Haiti

The project aims to assist the government bodies in the building of consensus regarding all camp exit strategies including in situ camps upgrading and urban integration, in consultation with the key stakeholders involved in implementing solutions to ending displacement. The objective is to strengthen the decision making process with a view to ending displacement based on technical survey and case-by-case analyzes. UN-Habitat will meanwhile implement pilot through community-led “people's process” approach within two or three different camp to test the scenarios and implementation mechanisms (contracts with community-based organizations and local private companies). Feedback from pilot implementation (provision to basic urban services and infrastructures) will inform the production of best-case scenarios for implementation. Results and lessons from this feedback process, as well as feedback on other methods of implementation practiced by partners/stakeholders, will feed the production of the toolkit. Application of UN-Habitat's Urban Planning, Design and Management processes will augment the tools and evidence and provide a step by step roadmap for Camp Formalization and Urban Revitalization.
