  • Survey on Living Conditions and Social Development in Northern Haiti (LCSDS): 2014-2015
    Dataset

    By Housing and Urban Development Division (VPS/CSD/HUD)
    The Living Conditions and Social Development Survey (LCSDS) aims to evaluate and monitor the economic and social conditions, as well as poverty levels, in the communes near the Caracol Industrial Park (PIC). Located 25 km southeast of Cap-Haïtien (Haiti’s second most populous city), the PIC is a flagship economic development initiative that, by 2017, had created 10,000 new jobs in the light manufacturing sector. Between 2001 and 2003, the Haitian Institute of Statistics and Informatics (IHSI) conducted its first and only comprehensive survey on living conditions. The purpose of that survey was to establish baseline development indicators on topics such as housing and infrastructure, demographics, migration, education, labor, health, household income, domestic and public life, and agriculture. No similar comprehensive survey on living conditions has been conducted since. The LCSDS adapted the IHSI’s 2001-2003 survey questionnaire, adding specific modules on perceptions and opinions...

    Dataset

    By Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)

The Database of Public Investment Expenditure in Latin America (BDD-GIPAL), available for 16 countries in the region, provides cross-classifications of expenditures (economic, institutional, and functional) for the period 2000-2016. Analysis of BDD-GIPAL helps answer three key questions: How much is invested? Who invests? And in what is it invested? Public investment in the region increased from 2.8% to 3.9% of GDP (2002-2006 vs. 2012-2016); however, this growth was driven by only five countries. Some countries in the region have delegated greater responsibility for public investment spending to subnational governments. In four countries, subnational governments account for over 50% of total public investment expenditure. Nearly 50% of public investment spending in the region has been...
