Historical dataset showing Haiti poverty rate by year from 2001 to 2012.
Poverty rate at $3.2 a day of Haiti sank by 29.10% from 83.50 % in 2001 to 59.20 % in 2012. Since the 29.10% slump in 2012, poverty rate at $3.2 a day remained stable by 0.00% in 2012. Population below $3.1 a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $3.1 a day at 2005 international prices. As a result of revisions in PPP exchange rates, poverty rates for individual countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported in earlier editions.
Poverty rate at $1.9 a day of Haiti plummeted by 46.21% from 75.10 % in 2001 to 40.40 % in 2012. Since the 46.21% drop in 2012, poverty rate at $1.9 a day remained constant by 0.00% in 2012. Population below $1.9 a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $1.9 a day at 2005 international prices.

Despite a decline in both monetary and multidimensional poverty rates since 2000, Haiti remains among the poorest and most unequal countries in Latin America. Two years after the 2010 earthquake, poverty was still high, particularly in rural areas. This report establishes that in 2012 more than one in two Haitians was poor, living on less than $ 2.41 a day, and one person in four was living below the national extreme poverty line of $1.23 a day. Extreme poverty declined from 31 to 24 percent between 2000 and 2012, and there have been some gains in access to education and sanitation, although access to basic services is generally low and is characterized by important inequalities. Urban areas have fared relatively better than rural areas, reflecting more nonagricultural employment opportunities, larger private transfers, more access to critical goods, and services and narrowing inequality compared to rural areas. Continued advances in reducing both extreme and moderate poverty will require greater, more broad-based growth, but also a concerted focus on increasing the capacity of the poor and vulnerable to accumulate assets, generate income, and better protect their livelihoods from shocks. Special attention should be given to vulnerable groups such as women and children and to rural areas, which are home to over half of the population and where extreme poverty persists, and income inequality is increasing.

The World Bank Group is interested in gauging the views of clients and partners who are either involved in development in Haiti or who observe activities related to social and economic development. The following survey will give the World Bank Group's team that works in Haiti, greater insight into how the Bank's work is perceived. This is one tool the World Bank Group uses to assess the views of its stakeholders, and to develop more effective strategies that support development in Haiti. A local independent firm has been hired to oversee the logistics of this survey.
This survey was designed to achieve the following objectives: - Assist the World Bank Group in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Haiti perceive the Bank Group; - Obtain systematic feedback from stakeholders in Haiti regarding: - Their views regarding the general environment in Haiti; - Their overall attitudes toward the World Bank Group in Haiti; - Overall impressions of the World Bank Group's effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Haiti; - Perceptions of the World Bank Group's future role in Haiti. - Use data to help inform Haiti country team's strategy.

Stakeholders of the World Bank in Haiti
Sample survey data [ssd]
In May, 2014, 409 stakeholders of the World Bank Group in Haiti were invited to provide their opinions on the WBG's work in the country by participating in a country opinion survey. Participants were drawn from the office of the President/Prime Minister, office of a minister; office of a parliamentarian; ministries, ministerial departments, or implementation agencies; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; project management units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of a project; local government officials; bilateral and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; financial sector/private banks; NGOs; community based organizations; the media; independent government institutions; trade unions; faith-based groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; the judiciary branch; and other organizations.
Other [oth]
The Questionnaire consists of 8 sections:
A. General Issues Facing Haiti: Respondents were asked to indicate whether Haiti is headed in the right direction, what they thought were the top three most important development priorities in the country, which areas would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in Haiti, and how "shared prosperity" would be best achieved.
B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group (WBG): Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the WBG and other regional development banks, their effectiveness in Haiti, WBG staff preparedness to help Haiti solve its development challenges, WBG's local presence, WBG's capacity building in Haiti, their agreement with various statements regarding the WBG's work, and the extent to which the WBG is an effective development partner. Respondents were asked to indicate the WBG's greatest values and weaknesses, the most effective instruments in helping reduce poverty in Haiti, in which sectoral areas the WBG should focus most of its resources (financial and knowledge services), and to what reasons respondents attributed failed or slow reform efforts. Respondents were also asked to indicate which groups the WBG should collaborate more with in Haiti to ensure better development results.
C. World Bank Group's Effectiveness and Results: Respondents were asked to rate the extent to which the WBG's work helps achieve development results in Haiti, the extent to which the WBG meets Haiti's needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, the importance for the WBG to be involved in thirty six development areas, and the WBG's level of effectiveness across twenty seven of these areas, such as education, policy sector governance/reform, job creation/employment, and health.
D. The World Bank Group's Knowledge Work and Activities: Respondents were asked to indicate how frequently they consult WBG's knowledge work and activities and to rate the effectiveness and quality of the WBG's knowledge work and activities, including how significant of a contribution it makes to development results and its technical quality.
E. Working with the World Bank Group: Respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement with a series of statements regarding working with the WBG, such as the WBG's "Safeguard Policy" requirements being reasonable, the WBG's speed in disbursing funds, and whether the WBG takes decisions quickly in Haiti.
F. The Future Role of the World Bank Group in Haiti: Respondents were asked to indicate what the WBG should do to make itself of greater value in Haiti, and which services the Bank should offer more of in the country. They were asked whether WBG has moved to the right direction, and the future role international development cooperation should play in Haiti. Respondents were asked to indicate the areas in which Haiti would benefit the most if the WBG plays a leading role among international partners, and the areas in which Haiti would benefit the most from other donors in Haiti.
G. Communication and Information Sharing: Respondents were asked to indicate how they get information about economic and social development issues, how they prefer to receive information from the WBG, the language in which they prefer to receive information from the WBG, and their usage and evaluation of the WBG's websites. Respondents were also asked about their awareness of the WBG's Access to Information policy, were asked to rate WBG's responsiveness to information requests, value of its social media channels, and levels of easiness to find information they needed.
H. Background Information: Respondents were asked to indicate their current position, specialization, whether they professionally collaborate with the WBG, their exposure to the WBG in Haiti, which WBG agencies they work with, whether IFC and the Bank work well together, and their geographic location.
Questionnaires were in English and French.
A total of 204 stakeholders participated in the survey (50% response rate).
