If they need a way to view live OSM data for Haiti (wild guess) in  
ArcMap (the program that uses MXD's as the project file), then these  
are your best bets:

1) If running ArcMap >= 9.3, they can load into OSM Haiti tiles in  
ArcMap compatible format from:

http://geocache.opensgi.net/haiti/arcgis/services

2) Most ArcMap versions can consume WMS services and I've set up a  
Mapnik renderer  (again for Haiti OSM data) to serve WMS  here:
http://tile2.dbsgeo.com?

And example request might be: http://tile2.dbsgeo.com/?layers=__all__&bbox=18.497972,-72.479639,18.572645,-72.247381&height=400&width=600&service=WMS&request=GetMap&version=1.3.0&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/png&styles=&crs=EPSG:4326
