While continuing my research, I’ve come across some good articles that support my thesis and provide similar information to my previous findings. Although I am glad that there is some unity among sources over my topic, it has been hard to find the right information to fill in the gaps. This makes it challenging to create a full, coherent argument because I’m not exactly sure what these gaps are or what kind of information I need to fill them. I just feel as if I’m missing important informational links that could better my own understanding and enable me to make my own significant connections. And despite some unity of information, the different vocabulary and objectives of researchers make it difficult for me to know if I'm understanding correctly and drawing logical conclusions.

This map shows the regions supported by Partners in Health, locally known as
Zanmi Lasante. If funds went directly to this organization to maintain established
locations as well as expand to other regions of Haiti, significant positive changes
would most likely occur.

Also, the articles I’m finding are somewhat broad in the solutions they suggest. Many have similar research conclusions about the inefficiency of natural disaster relief organizations, but the application of the suggested solutions would be hard to enact due to little specificity and the system that is currently in place. 

It’s a nice suggestion that more transparency among organizations about their objectives would be more beneficial for the recipients of relief efforts, but is this possible to enforce? 

At best, this solution is highly improbable. Also, although it seems there are better outcomes when local Haitian organizations are involved in any given disaster-response situation, it seems that outsider organizations do not often actively seek advice from, or partnerships with, these groups. (I hope to find more information about interactions between local and non-local groups and if the system promotes establishing relationships to share information and resources).

I am unsure if there are any policies that could improve this system (coordination between local and non-local groups), or the system in which organizations and donors interact and set priorities. Maybe if there was some type of incentive for non-Haitian groups to work with local ones or an incentive for organizations to align their agendas with the needs expressed by local officials then the billions of dollars raised towards the rebuilding of Haiti could be used effectively. But because most of the issues I am coming across in my research come down to the self-interest of many powerful organizations, and there is no way to change this common motive, solutions are not as easy as they appear. 

It is clear to me that intervention by government, or an entity of high authority, is necessary to spark positive changes. Unfortunately, the people fighting hardest for these changes are at the bottom of power pyramid.
