SOCIAL POLICY AND THE RURAL ENVIRONMENT IN HAITI - Wilson Jean - Bog

Haitian society was built on the wrong foundations from the outset. Very early on, the alliance between blacks and mulattos for independence was broken, and the old, dormant discriminatory practices of class and race resurfaced to dominate the country's history right up to the present day. As a result, two different worlds were created in the same country: the urban world (generally favored and dominant) and the rural world (discriminated against and dominated). As a result, the rural world is marginalized from mainstream society, and not taken into account in the social policy measures taken by the Haitian state. In this dissertation, the focus is on health care services as a social service, particularly in the Boileau communal section of the Cavaillon commune.So, the aim of this research is to understand the discriminatory motive that compromises communal sections' access to health care services within the framework of Haitian social policy. Subsequently, we seek to identify the market relations governing the privatization of basic social services in Haiti from a total perspective.
