It particularly seeks to generate comprehensive solutions for risk management, mitigating the impact of natural disasters and strengthening the social network, considering that Haiti is one of the most vulnerable countries in the face of Climate Change.
The Laboratory seeks the generation of solutions focused on climate change and resilience in any of its aspects that may represent a significant change in communities’ quality of life. However, the laboratory aims to address some specific challenges, which are:
Water and sanitation solutions;
Agriculture and efficient irrigation systems;
Resilience and disaster response;
Institutional strengthening of Civil Society Organizations;
Other.
Project type: Proposals for rapid execution projects that have at least one validated and viable product will be received. During the different stages of the Laboratory, these proposals should be developed and adapted to the context and realities of Haiti.
