The African Executive team sends condolences to the families of the bereaved following Haiti's devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake and wishes the injured speedy recovery. Although the quake has definitely reversed the gains that Haiti was making on the developmental front, it is encouraging to note that Haitians have been resilient in the face of a series of devastating hurricanes, violence and instability. It is our hope that this resilience will serve as a platform to rebuild the country.
