About RTI International
The USAID-funded Local Enterprise and Value Chain Enhancement (LEVE) project strives to increase economic growth and employment opportunities in Haiti. LEVE will expand opportunities for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to generate employment for Haitian men, women, and youth in the three development corridors: Port-au-Prince, Saint-Marc and Cap-Haïtien. LEVE will improve the competitiveness of key sectors: construction, textile and apparel and agribusiness, working with select value chains with the most potential for growth. LEVE project’s four main components are:
Component 1: Enable MSMEs to engage with other value chain actors to mutually create value.
Component 2: Increase MSMEs access to a productive labor pool with relevant skills and competencies.
Component 3: Improve the sustainability of Haitian organizations serving target sectors and corridors.
Component 4: Identify and improve synergies among existing programs and activities.
CONTEXT:
RTI is helping to build the institutional capacity of Papyrus S.A., a local project management and consulting firm. In that respect Papyrus underwent their second OCA in May 2015 and the third in August 2016 both conducted by Tetra Tech. One recommendation that was made in 2015 and reiterated in 2016 was that Papyrus needed to develop a data and information management system for their core operations.
