Telecommunication networks and infrastructure resilience assessment in Haiti
In this issue
Disasters have not only affected lives but have also caused extensive damage to Haiti’s telecommunications infrastructure. Addressing the aftermath goes beyond immediate emergency telecommunication assistance. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) plays an important role in assisting Haiti in the reconstruction of its telecommunications infrastructure in alignment with the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC) Resolution 60 (Hyderabad, 2010). Recognizing the crucial role of connectivity and the necessity for a robust, resilient, secure, and affordable telecommunications infrastructure to promote social welfare and economic development in Haiti, an assessment on resilience was conducted.
