The Integrated Community Development Program, is a community-driven, multi-disciplinary approach to lifting villages in developing countries out of the poverty that afflicts more than a billion people worldwide. The Integrated Community Development Program plans to provide early successes by focusing on achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) - clear targets for reducing poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and discrimination against women - by 2015.
The Partnership Rationale
Given the need to impact the extreme inequality and poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean, Project Medishare for Haiti, Inc. is partnering with the the Global Institute at the University of Miami Miller school of Medicine to incorporate the Integrated Community Development Program to the western hemisphere, and, in particular, to the poorest country in the western hemisphere, Haiti.
Specific Site Selection in Haiti
The Integrated Community Development Program will be established in the central plateau community of Marmont. To find out more information on Marmont, please click here.
Partner Roles and Responsibilities
In broad terms, Project Medishare in partnership with the Global Institute at the University of Miami Miller School will assume primary responsibility for overall project development, management, and "on-the-ground" deployment. For the agriculture component Project Medishare is working with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences. We are partnering with other NGO's who are working in education, safe water, and gender equality.
