Despite concerns the Haitian government might lack the ability to manage a reconstruction fund and fears President René Préval does not hold true leadership in the country, international leaders committed to a 10-year rebuilding effort in Haiti at a tentative cost of $3 billion The New York Times
The money would be used to build model home communities for some 200,000 people rendered homeless and to reconstruct government offices destroyed in Port-au-Prince.
But donor nations called for an independent-needs assessment to be conducted by representatives of the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank and the UN Development Programme to ascertain the true costs associated with rebuilding.
