Why has it taken so long for Haiti to recover?

On the next Your Call, we'll talk about how Haitians are faring one year after the earthquake. Despite hundreds of NGOs and billions in aid money, Haiti is still struggling with poverty, violence, and disease. Doctors Without Borders says, "It's time for humanitarians to step aside." What does that mean exactly? What are the solutions? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What will it take to rebuild Haiti? It's Your Call, with Sandip Roy and you.

Guests:
Garry Pierre Pierre, editor and publisher of Haitian Times

Lisa Davis, human rights advocacy director with MADRE

Ben Smilowitz, executive director of the Disaster Accountability Project

Nicole Phillips, staff attorney with the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti
