• Full report

This report emerges from Ian Davis’s visit to Haiti in November 2011, to examine progress
with reconstruction approximately twenty-two months after the earthquake. His visit only
lasted three weeks, but his reflections relate to almost 40 years of work, as an architect,
academic and consultant examining, researching and writing about post-disaster sheltering and
housing in about 30 different recovery situations. During his visit he was able to visit various
sites and interview a spectrum of informants that included NGO, UN and Government officials
as well as earthquake survivors, consultants, private sector representatives and academics. Ian
Davis’s findings are totally independent viewpoints since he was not employed by any agency
operating in Haiti.
