On 21-23 July 2010, a Club of Madrid delegation led by President Lagos, accompanied by Juan Gabriel Valdes, former head of MINUSTAH, met in Port au Prince with President Preval, members of the Provisional Election Council, members of the opposition, civil society representatives and members of the international community. The purpose of the visit was the launch of a Club of Madrid initiative to support Haiti’s democracy, in particular Haitian efforts to return to the democratic consolidation and economic development process underway before the quake.

The 14 participants both from the private and public sector are currently undertaking a Senior Executive Course which focuses on the ‘The Imperative of Policy Sustainability for National Security and Democratic Stability.’

Guided by this provocative question, the Club de Madrid´s Shared Societies Project launched the first of a series of discussions in the nine-month process to develop an economic argument for inclusion by analyzing the relationship between social cohesion, economic growth and well-being
