2nd ‘Buy Haitian, Restore Haiti Conference’ January 26 in Port-au-Prince
Posted by Admin under: Entrepreneurship; Events; Haiti .
Dear friends of Haiti,
In March of 2011, over 250 Haitian Business Owners and Members of International Non-Profit Organizations came together at the first ‘Buy Haitian, Restore Haiti Conference’, to address the need for local purchasing in an economy dependent on aid. Since last year’s conference, the results of local purchasing by International organizations have been tremendous!
The Haitian economy is projected to grow by 8% in 2012 (Economic Commission Latin America & Caribbean). As Haitians offer high-quality, locally produced goods and services, local purchasing is essential to the long-term restoration of the country. To ensure stability, economic growth, and the creation of 100,000 new jobs by 2020, Partners Worldwide is equipping Haitian businesses and international non-profit organizations to collaborate across sectors. For this reason, we invite you to attend the second ‘BUY HAITIAN, RESTORE HAITI’ Conference at Karibe Convention Center, January 26, 2012.
Speakers and Attendees include organizations and businesses— buyers and suppliers. This conference is a win-win for all attendees!
REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, JANUARY 20th. Please call me with any questions or forward the information below to NGOs you know working in Haiti, and encourage them to register at http://www.partnersworldwide.org/events/upcoming-events/ or by e-mail at LaraB@partnersworldwide.org.
