One Year After Haiti Earthquake, Reconstruction is Slow
A year after the earthquake destroyed much of Port-au-Prince, there are few visible signs of reconstruction.
Only five percent of the rubble has been removed from the city. An estimated 800,000 people are still living in tents. And according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, only 38 percent of the $1.4 billion in charitable contributions from U.S. donors has been spent. Many are asking why.
"When people ask me in one word, which is tough to answer, what is wrong with Haiti today, and why haven't we moved forward, the answer is leadership. We need leadership and we are really relying on the next [Haitian] administration to provide that," said Julie Schindall, the spokesperson for Oxfam International.
It's a common theme. 
The Haitian government has been unable to fully respond. Thirteen of the 15 government ministry buildings collapsed in the quake. Thirty percent of the government's workforce was killed.
In addition, November's election results have not been announced, amid allegations of fraud.
Non-governmental organizations agree that the funds and know how for reconstruction are in Haiti. But they say there is no viable government to partner with.
"The money will only be released when there are realistic plans because we want the money to go to the right place. We don't want the money to disappear into a black hole. Everybody has an interest in results out of this," said Leonard Doyle, with the International Organization for Migration, an NGO working in Haiti.
Aid organizations say the initial phase of disaster relief, providing basic shelter, food and water, went well given the enormous destruction.
The second phase, getting people into temporary housing and starting permanent construction, has been problematic.
Matthew Cochrane with the International Red Cross, who has been working to build transitional homes in Port au Prince, says finding space to build in the city is not easy. Land records have been destroyed and obtaining clear title is often complicated.
But he is optimistic the coming year will be more productive. "I think a lot of the legal hurdles are beginning to be overcome. I think in the next month you will see a significant increase in the rate of construction," he said.
There has also been criticism of the NGOs operating in the country.
Julie Schindall with Oxfam says donors would rather spend money on sexy projects like building a school or a hospital, rather than removing the mass of debris from the city.
"We need to think what is our added value here. What do we have to bring. And it has to be something that doesn't exist inside of the country. And it has to be something where we end up training Haitians and giving Haitians the skills to carry out those projects themselves," she said.
The NGOs agree that reconstruction will take years. They say now is the time to redouble their commitment and work toward moving the country forward.

破坏性的地震摧毁了太子港大部分地区一年之后，仍然没有明显的重建迹象。
只有5%的废墟清除出了太子港。大约800,000人仍然居住在帐篷中。根据《慈善纪事报》(Chronicle of Philanthropy)记录，美国捐赠者捐助的14亿美元的慈善款项只有38%花费在重建方面。许多人都在问为什么会这样。
牛津饥荒救济委员会Oxfam女发言人Julie Schindall表示，“人们异口同声地问我为什么，这个问题非常难回答，海地今天到底怎么了，为什么没有任何进展。答案就是领导问题。我们需要领导，我们非常依赖下届海地政府来为我们提供领导。”
这是共同的主题。
海地政府已经不能做出充分的回应。海地政府15座办公建筑有13座在地震中坍塌。30%的政府工作人员在地震中遇难。
此外，由于舞弊指控，11月份的选举结果目前还没有公布。
非政府组织一致认为，重建的资金和技术指导都已经到达海地。但是他们表示，没有有效的政府来与他们合作。
国际移民组织驻海地办公室工作人员Leonard Doyle表示，“只有在具备切实可行的计划的情况下我们才会交出这些资金，因为我们希望这笔资金能够花在合适的地方。我们不希望这些钱消失在黑洞中。每个人都能从这笔资金中受益。”
救助组织表示，尽管毁坏程度非常严重，灾难救援的最初阶段，提供基础的住所，食物和水的工作进展比较顺利。
而第二阶段，使人们搬到临时住所中，开始永久性的建设则遇到了问题。
国际红十字会的Matthew Cochrane致力于帮助灾民在海地建设过渡性住房。他说，在这个城市中找到能够进行建设的地方非常困难。土地记录已经被毁坏，获得合法的土地权利通常非常复杂。
但是他对明年的情况非常乐观。“我认为，许多司法障碍正在逐渐被解决。我认为，下个月，你将看到建设率大幅增加。”
在海地运作的非政府组织也受到一些批评。
Oxfam的Julie Schindall表示，捐赠者更希望把捐款花在建设学校或医院的工作中，而不是去清理大量的废墟。
“我们必须考虑我们的附加值在哪里。我们必须带来什么，必须是这个国家并不存在的东西。最终必须是我们为海地人民提供训练，为他们提供技术，由他们自己来完成这些工程。”
非政府组织赞同重建工作将需要多年的时间。他们说，现在必须更加努力让这个国家恢复到正常状态。
