Abstract

This senior paper aims to investigate current theories surrounding foreign aid distribution through the lens of the island nation of Haiti. Applying some parts of these theories to the coffee industry in Haiti, I examine how foreign aid has affected the country of Haiti, and whether or not current theories can successfully explain the country’s development. In the French language chapter, I examine the perception of foreign aid practices and native views on non-governmental aid agencies in Haiti through the examination of Haitian newspaper. I looked specifically at the Haitian newspaper, Haïti en Marche, a publication based in Port-au-Prince. The focus is upon the cholera epidemic in Haiti and the U.N. fallout after the disease was linked to camps of U.N. peacekeeping soldiers.
