ARTICLE - TABARRE - ELECTRONIC ATLAS

INAUGURATION OF THE PHASE I OF THE ELECTRONIC ATLAS OF TABARRE
(Haiti Libre) -

In order to provide Tabarre with a planning tool for determinig how space is currently managed and how it will be in the future, Jean Frantz Théodat, the Mayor of Tabarre, inaugurated this week the first phase of the project "Electronic Atlas of Tabarre", a Quick Impact Projects (QIP) initiated at the request of the mayor of Tabarre, by the United Nations Mission for Stabilization in Haiti (Minustah) and funded to the tune of USD$25,000.

The district of Tabarre, with approximately 118,477 inhabitants of which must be added 108,701 displaced since the earthquake of January 12, 2010, is a strategic place where there are localized pumping stations that supply the municipalities of Petionville and Delmas with water... It also houses the administrative buildings that welcome every day thousands of people from across Haiti, including the Toussaint Louverture International Airport, the Embassy of the United States or the Historical Park of Sugar Cane.

As its name implies, the Atlas provides, in one click, information on the 28 neighborhoods of the district and present a complete cartography of the location of residential and industrial areas and the IDP camps. The Mayor of Tabarre, believes that this Electronic Atlas will be a great source of information. "Such a tool will help us to better manage our district because we will have the addresses digitized for every important place, such as the number of boutiques, shops and schools located in Tabarre. On this basis, we will be able to know what is there and what is missing and how to guide the potential investors to invest in the district" he added.

For his part, Clack Erick Louis, the Mayor Assessor of Petionville, did not hide his satisfaction. "This is a great tool that every municipality should have for the smooth running of the municipality and in order to achieve an effective job performance."
