As part of its support to the decentralization project, the Embassy of France has funded to the tune of 100,000 euros, the production of maps of Haiti who present an inventory of land use across the country (rural areas - Status 1998 / urban - Status 1998 and 2010).

The Embassy explains that "these maps are a tool for state and local institutions to better manage land development and deepening their knowledge of local issues. They are a prerequisite for any planning project. for example, the map for the town of Cité Soleil shows that the urban area has doubled in 10 years..."

Printed in 2,800 copies A0, 841 mm X1189 mm, these maps will be distributed in each of the decentralized and deconcentrated state institutions. Each municipality will have a national, departmental and communal map.

"A project of data refresh is in progress order to be able subsequently make a critical analysis of the development of the territory," says the Embassy of France.
