Abstract
International Aid Imposes Structural Adjustments which Failed to Provide Economic Growth in Haiti
Poverty is rated as the most serious global issue today; the widespread of poverty connotes unemployment, substandard housing, poor health conditions, and inadequate nutrition. To address the issue of poverty, the global community developed foreign aid. It is a loan provided by a government or international organization to help the recipient country and must pay back the loan within a specified period. For the last two decades, the Caribbean nation of Haiti has been obedient to the conditions of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and yet Haiti persists to be the poorest country in the Americas. In order to receive loans, the Haitian government has to give in to the demands of the IMF that damaged the agricultural sector of the country. They cut assistance to small farmers and opened the economy of Haiti into cheap agricultural products. As the rice from the US soon flooded the country, depressed the prices and pushed farmers to stop working thus increasing the unemployment and people became dependent on imported goods. This paper aims to evaluate the structural adjustment policies in the agricultural sector of Haiti imposed by the IMF. As the farmers stopped working because the government cut its assistance, many of them were put out of the business. Furthermore, with the lower import tariffs on rice, they could no longer compete with the agricultural products coming from the United States thus, lowering domestic production. These structural adjustment policies forced the government of Haiti to be subjected to the demands of the IMF that benefited the foreign investors through lower tariffs, undermining the needs of its people by challenging the agricultural sector. This paper will also focus on the effects of these structural adjustment policies and how it contributed to perpetuating the poverty in Haiti rather than solving it.
