The Haiti Recovery and Development Company, LLC operates under a model coined “Government Facilitating Organization” (GFO).

HR&DC’s GFO concept is different from the nearly 10,000 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) operating in Haiti whose designated role is to temporarily fill gaps in government services with a concentration on humanitarian issues, developmental aid and sustainable development.

While NGOs are intended to temporarily fill capacity gaps in government services,

HR&DC has pioneered the GFO concept to function as a Government Facilitating Organization operating solely in the interest of the host country as a managerial apparatus that is sovereignty-centric, transparent, collaborative, and requires measureable results for NGOs. 

HR&DC vision is to function as a Government Facilitating Organization operating solely in the interest of the host country.  As a GFO, HR&DC will:

• Promote sovereignty
• Research and define census-base governmental requirements  
• Define capacity gaps in government services and personnel 
• Consult with government officials to define administration priorities
• Collaboratively draft capacity gap transition protocols
• Audit and analyze the impact of the NGOs presently in-country
• Perform worldwide audit of successful Nation State/ NGO activities
• Collaboratively draft NGO Certification Program
• Participate in a countrywide NGO Certification Program
• Collaboratively draft capacity gap-centric mandates for all certified NGOs
• Collaboratively communicate NGO-specific mandates and benchmarks
• Assist certified NGO’s in meeting specific mandates and benchmarks
• Audit “actual” vs. “mandated” results of government recognized NGOs
• Participate in punitive program for underperforming NGOs 
• Continuously audit host country’s transition to self-reliance
