Combating Structural Corruption in Haiti

This study is focused on the role of the Evangelical Church in combating structural corruption in Haiti one of the most corrupt countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The negative impact of the phenomenon of corruption on this country is evident on the three powers of the state: the Legislative the Judiciary and the Executive with principal effect: the underdevelopment and the misery! These matters are linked in some cases to the bad governance and also to the failure of the Evangelical Church which represents 53% of the Haitian population but which has not played very well its role of salt and light of the world. In the context of structural corruption in Haiti the impact of Evangelical Church becomes more and more important. Thus the study traces the history of structural corruption in Haiti from the beginning of the nation to date analyzes the status quo and the weakness of the Evangelical Church praxis before presenting a theoretical model with biblical and theological approach for redressing the problem and concluding with practical strategies to be implemented by the Church in its prophetic role to lead the fight against structural corruption in Haiti.
