Marie St. Fleur: Haiti is in disarray, and its government is not functioning well. It is not only not functioning because of the massive earthquake that has just hit, but because before, funding aid in Haiti has categorically favoured NGOs, leaving the government as secondary in providing help to the citizens. NGOs cannot deal with large scale infrastructure problems the way governments can. The government is not functioning the way it should, and the Haitian government, the Haitian economy and Haitian education needs to start fortifying themselves if this is going to get any better.
