Fragile/Conflict-Affected Country: This country is classified as experiencing conflict.
In fragile and conflict-affected settings, severe data gaps, rapid disruption, and uneven reporting can distort index values. These scores should be read as a limited signal, not a complete picture of conditions in the country.

Country profile
Haiti faces substantial readiness constraints across core dimensions. Its weakest results are in Infrastructure (40, 11th percentile), Human Capital (37, 8th percentile), GEFRI Composite (28, 7th percentile), Innovation (28, 14th percentile), School Access and Gender Parity (21, 23rd percentile) and Governance (14, 6th percentile). These gaps continue to weigh on overall readiness.
Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. Limited electricity or internet coverage still constrains classrooms, preventing large-scale digital instruction. Limited tertiary enrollment narrows future talent pipelines and innovation capacity.
Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. Policy execution and regulatory capacity remain weak, leaving reforms fragmented and hard to sustain. Gender parity across secondary pathways reflects sustained commitment to equitable participation.
Many indicators are imputed, so the profile should be treated as a limited signal rather than a complete measurement.
