Don't hold your breath. To attract any real investment - enough to set up a manufacturing facility, anyhoo - there needs to be a skilled workforce and economic and political stability... not just houses and roads. This is why China is so attractive for manufacturing and Africa is not. If you want to set up a manufacturing plant in Idaho or Saskatchewan or Norway, pay your suppliers and employees and taxes and you are set... Try that in Haiti or Sudan and you will find out the hard way that the deals you made with one gov't official do not apply to other officials or local labour and crime organizations, etc.

Haitians need help to survive the next few months, but Haiti needs a lot more help to thrive over the long-term. :/
