Abstract

The objective of this work was twofold: first, to construct a robust theoretical and methodological framework for assessing the financial health of Haitian local authorities; and second, to offer an in-depth, critical, and nuanced analysis of their actual budgetary dynamics based on comparative empirical data. By combining the tools of financial analysis, insights from critical governance theories, and the results of a multi-site survey covering twenty municipalities, this work offers a unique contribution to understanding the structural challenges of decentralization in Haiti.
