The Clintons in Ayiti: the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission

SUMMARYThe Clintons in Ayiti: the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission [Connections: Clintons in Ayiti, Nov 5, 2026]

RECORDBill Clinton was UN Special Envoy for Haiti (from 2009) and co-chaired the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC) with Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive after the Jan 12, 2010 earthquake. By the end of its mandate (Oct 21, 2011) the IHRC had approved 75 projects worth $3.2 billion, but only $117.7 million (about 3.7%) had been reported disbursed. Haitians were largely left out of decisions

LENS (WW9)"Where did the money go" starts here: most pledged money never reached Ayiti's government or its people, and much of what moved went to foreign contractors and NGOs (verify percentages against USAID and the UN Office of the Special Envoy's tracking)

OPENClaims of "billions stolen by the Clinton Foundation" have no trail yet. Needs deep research: the Foundation's Haiti filings, the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund's spending, and the UN envoy's aid tracker
