The MOE and MOA are developing new relations through technical commissions and also through official agreements between the two ministers. The NGOs, private and religious institutions and the local collectives remain the key partners in this area.
Fragile ecosystems seem to be the rule in a country as mountainous as Haiti.
Mountain agriculture becomes vital so that future generations can inherit a rehabilitated ecosystem. Funding from regional international organizations has been requested for managing fragile ecosystems like Haiti's. International funding compensates for the low level of governmental funding. NGOs also contribute significantly. This information is based on Haiti's submission to the 5th Session of the Commission on Sustainable Development, April 1997.
