Hi, I am glad another fellow Haitian is still talking about decentralization.

We also need to bring in some historical perspective so we don't feel too bad about ourselves as Haitians.

Antenor Firmin did much to decentralize the country.

President Magloire had a whole plan title " Decentralization et Renaissance des provinces".

President Aristide believed he needed to electrify the provinces first then Port-au-Prince.

So it's not like the Haitians did not try. The underlying problem is the continuous political unstability.

My vision is to force a greater decentralization of the economic activities by devising a plan of action that will make each chef-lieu city a center of a specific economic activity.

For instance Jeremie would be the center of the "belles lettres", the center for literature and publication.

Jacmel the center for the sixth art or other (movie production studios, painting, theather production ect....).

And so forth.

All we have to do is start planning and show up at the discussion meetings
Thanks

The topic is: Republic of Port au Prince is the key problem

Brother Zopovin, let us start working on a diaspora plan for Haiti. We need a plan in order to achieve any objective. You merge your ideas with mine. We discuss. We look for supporting evidence. We look at the experiences of other countries. We may e > >

Rubens; what I'm about to say to you will be nothing new to you; we discussed the same issue many times before and have consistently disagreed on it. You always think that individuals alone can change things, and I always tell you that individuals ca > >

Vous pouvez discuter ce sujet jusqu'a ce que vous deveniez bleus sur le visage mais rien ne va changer en Haiti. Trop de coquins, fripouilles, mechants. Trop de gens ignorants. Ils transforment le pays en un grand marche et village Africain.. Ils ne > >

Robert, I don't think I recognize you. And this impulsive person who is pretending to be you cannot fool someone who has been blogging with you for nearly a year. The real Robert would never sound so careless and planless. For example, the real Rober > >

Linda & all: Yes we agree to disagree. A nation is made of individuals that can certainly make local changes. The objective is to harmonize local changes in order to achieve an impact at the national level. Frankly, I am not refuting your belief that > >
