devastating earthquake in 2010 destroyed much of Haiti’s productive infrastructure and disrupted the entire Haitian economy. As the country struggled to recover, the Haitian Government recognized that micro-, small, and medium-size enterprises (MSMEs) could play an important role in creating new jobs and improving working conditions in the country.1 The Department of State notes in its 2011 post-earthquake strategy for Haiti2 that MSMEs accounted for about 90 percent of new jobs in the country, but most operated informally—often run by families or individuals without formal accounting systems or Haitian Government registration—and it was hard for them to access finance or technical support through official channels, like banks. They also lacked connections to value chains—all the activities such as production, marketing, and distribution required to produce a product or service and deliver it to the final customer—beyond local communities. These problems have limited the abilities of MSMEs to grow and stimulate the Haitian economy.
