Broken and fragile, the Haitian economy is in a state of desperation and uncertainty. Whether it was the decisions of past leaders or factors beyond their control, Haiti is ranked as the poorest country in the western hemisphere and more over the world.

From being one of the most prosperous countries in sub Sahara Africa, Zambia has experienced a sharp decline, a crush, of its economy, which has had a great adverse impact on the quality of 10 million people.

The droughts which were experienced in the early 1980s have persisted into the 1990's and their impact has contributed to the decline
