Children and youth represent more than half of Haiti's population affected by the earthquake on 12 Jaunuary 2010.

In partnership with UNICEF, Plan led a consultation of 1,000 children to ensure that their voices would be heard in the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), which was set up by the Haitian government to detail reconstruction plans to international donors.

Plan spoke to children across Haiti through children friendly focus groups. The groups ranged in age and focused on issues such as gender, disability, vulnerability, education, access to services and disaster risk reduction.

This report presents key findings from the consultations with children and youth.
