The Martelly government has struggled to improve living conditions since the nation's devastating earthquake of 2010.
"The president has made so many promises but nothing has become a reality," protester Max Dorlien said. "It's only a clique of his friends who are making money."
The protesters, largely supporters of former two-time president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, were also marking the 21st anniversary of the former president's first ouster.
