Security: Haitian National Police Strengthens International Cooperation

The Haitian National Police (PNH) held a high-level working session on November 19 with its main international partners to evaluate the progress of actions undertaken as part of the institutional support program. The meeting, chaired by Commander-in-Chief André Jonas Vladimir Paraison, brought together representatives from UNDP, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Italy, Germany, and Japan.

Discussions focused on three areas — infrastructure, logistics, and training — considered essential to strengthen the operational capacity of the PNH in a particularly complex security context.

According to Diallo Oumar, UNDP's lead CT, the training sessions conducted and the work undertaken in recent months reflect « a renewed commitment from partners » in favor of sustainable support for the police institution.

The High Command took advantage of this session to present its strategic priorities for 2026, focused on operational strengthening, equipment modernization, improvement of training mechanisms, and the creation of specialized units.

The PNH thanked its partners for their constant support, considering international cooperation an indispensable lever for restoring security and stability in Haiti.
