Water Governance In Haiti: An Assessment Of Laws And Institutional Capacities, Ryan Stoa
Water Governance In Haiti: An Assessment Of Laws And Institutional Capacities, Ryan Stoa
Ryan B. Stoa
The Republic of Haiti struggles to sustainably manage its water resources. Public health is compromised by low levels of water supply, sanitation, and hygiene, and water resources are often contaminated and unsustainably allocated.

Funded by the Inter-American Development Bank as …

The overall regulatory system is …

This paper analyzes several emerging transnational regulatory systems that engage, but are not centered on state legal systems. Driven primarily by civil society organizations, the new regulatory systems use conventional technical standard setting and certification techniques to establish market-leveraged, social and environmental regulatory programs. These programs resemble state regulatory programs in many important respects, and are increasingly legalized. Individual sectors generally have multiple regulatory programs that compete with, but also mimic and reinforce each other. While forestry is the most developed example, similar …
