文摘

Haitian residents of Dominican bateyes experience high rates of poor health and extreme poverty. High rates of poor health are due to a variety of community-based factors including lack of access to clean water and adequate food, as well as political marginalization. Residents of Dominican bateyes are interested in community-level change and eager to participate in the process. Broad-scale needs assessment and action planning process are one strategy to identify key interventions for addressing these needs.
