On Friday, December 5, 2024, as part of the strategy to strengthen international partnerships, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé chaired a high-level meeting, organized under the leadership of Maria Isabel Salvador, Head of BINUH, and Ulrika Richardson, United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, bringing together some twenty heads of United Nations agencies in Haiti.

Accompanied by several ministers and his immediate collaborators, the Prime Minister outlined the three major strategic priorities of his government :

"1. Restore security throughout the national territory, with particular emphasis on the fight against armed gangs and strengthening the capacities of law enforcement;

2. Undertake constitutional reform, aimed at strengthening the rule of law, modernizing institutions and ensuring more effective and inclusive governance;

3. Organize credible and democratic elections, creating the necessary conditions for fair and transparent participation of all political actors and civil society."

Fils-Aimé stressed the need for a strategic alignment between the actions of the United Nations and national priorities, in order to ensure a coordinated and adapted response to the urgent needs of the Haitian population.

This approach reflects his Government's desire to maximize the effectiveness of international aid while reaffirming the sovereignty and responsibility of the State in managing national challenges.

In this perspective, strategic sectoral meetings are planned in the coming days with the relevant Ministries and key partners.

These consultations will make it possible to define a clear and coherent operational framework to guide interventions in the areas of security, governance and humanitarian aid.

Through this initiative, the Head of Government reiterates his commitment to mobilizing the international community around an ambitious and realistic national agenda.
