Memo: Four years on from the Haiti earthquake: The EU’s response

In January 2010, Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake that took 222,750 people's lives, injured many thousands and made 1.7 million homeless. Since then the EU has provided humanitarian and development aid for Haiti.

This memo reviews the results of the €883 m EU support and the future EU cooperation with Haiti. Between 2014 and 2020 an additional €420m aid will be provided to the country under the 11th European Development Fund.
