During a meeting that was held on the 23rd January in Port-au-Prince, the United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) incorporated the National Association of the Scouts of Haiti (NASH) in the humanitarian coordination. Scouts will be involved “ in all activities and tasks needing their support”, especially in the transit camps and displaced people camps. It will consist mostly of setting up the camp and the transportation of equipment.

The humanitarian coordination is composed mostly of local NGOs, branches of international NGOs as well as representatives of Haitian civil society demonstrating the capacity of the population to take charge of the larger part of the rescue and reconstruction efforts.
