Haiti's government says it will need at least five to 10 years of international help to rebuild from earthquake devastation.
Appealing for long-term support from foreign donors meeting in Canada, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said his people had been bloodied, martyred and ruined by the quake two weeks ago.
It is believed the 7.0 magnitude quake on 12 January killed as many as 200,000 people. An estimated 1.5 million people are homeless.
Ministers and delegates from 20 countries, as well as the United Nations and the World Bank are taking part at the meeting in Montreal called to assess the relief effort and to pave the way for further reconstruction.
The delegates agreed to hold an international donors' conference at the UN headquarters in New York in March.
Mr Bellerive thanked the world community for its help so far, but said much more is needed to rebuild the Caribbean island nation that even before the quake was the poorest in the western hemisphere.
The BBC reports the prime minister urged the international community to provide "massive support" for his country and said the Haitian government can lead efforts to rebuild the country.
"The Haitian government is working in precarious conditions but it can provide the leadership that people expect."
The relief operation for Haiti has turned from rescue to recovery, with authorities trying to relocate at least 400,000 survivors in temporary villages.
Haitian President Rene Preval has made an urgent appeal for tents, saying 200,000 are needed before the expected start of the rainy season in May.
