Focus Group Archive
Welcome to the only online focus group archive for Haiti. The archive currently contains 45 full-text Kreyol focus groups, of which 37 have been translated into English. It also contains 6 highly detailed narrative summary focus groups in English. Main topics include production and marketing of goats, fish, mangoes, charcoal, lumber, cacao, and fruits in general. There are focus groups about life in the post-earthquake camps and focus groups on the myriad of issues surrounding local procurement school feeding, including parental feeding practices regarding school children, capacity to provide schools with local produce, recommended strategies to do so, how to get parents to pay for school feeding, and the use of cooperatives to aggregate food for use in the feeding programs. There are also focus groups about crime and security. All these are main topics, you will find many other topics buried in the discussions. There are even several focus groups with rural Haitian children concerning feeding strategies, food preferences, and treatment by school professors and directors. In addition to the individual full-text focus groups, in most cases we also provide a single document containing all the focus groups for a particular project organized by topic and indexed with a table of contents identifying searchable hash-tagged keywords.
