International Assistance
Following the January 12 earthquake, the international community mounted a massive humanitarian response to assist Haiti in the relief and recovery effort. Governments, civil society and businesses from over 100 countries contributed to the relief efforts with cash or in-kind contributions.
On January 15, the United Nations (UN) launched a Flash Appeal for a total of US$575 million. On February 17, the UN launched the revised Humanitarian Appeal requesting US$1.4 billion (which includes the original six month Flash Appeal amount) to cover emergency humanitarian assistance and key early recovery projects for 12 months (January-December 2010). The appeal covers everything from immediate coordination and life saving interventions to the initial phases of early recovery.
At the International Donors' Conference Towards a New Future for Haiti, held in New York on March 31, 2010, over US$9.9 billion was pledged, including US$5.5 billion for 2010 and 2011. Pledges were made by 49 nations, international finance institutions and non-state actors, in support of the implementation of the Government of Haiti's Action Plan for Recovery and Development.
