Strengthening Planning and Public Action in Haiti: A Strategic Meeting at the MPCE

This Tuesday, the Minister of Planning and External Cooperation, Sandra PAULEMON, held an important meeting with departmental directors and heads of central MPCE services. The main objective: to improve coordination between central services and decentralized structures, in order to strengthen the effectiveness of public policies and support national priorities, particularly security, economic and social recovery, and the organization of elections.

The meeting took place in a room named after Toussaint LOUVERTURE, on the occasion of the 223rd anniversary of the death of this precursor of Haiti's independence. The minister took this opportunity to address a message of mobilization and responsibility to the ministry's executives.

During the meeting, an assessment of the realities on the ground was made. Achievements and ongoing dynamics were highlighted, as well as the necessary adjustments to better guide government action in the departments.

“Beyond the constraints, I primarily observed a common will to move forward, to mobilize, and to unite around a single mission: to bring the State closer to the territories and make public action more concrete and useful,” the minister declared.

Sandra PAULEMON also reaffirmed the government's will, led by Prime Minister His Excellency Alix Didier FILS-AIMÉ, to fully place departmental directorates at the heart of public action. According to her, these directorates are essential: “Without them, planning remains an idea. With them, it becomes a tangible reality for the population.”

This meeting marks an important step in the government's effort to strengthen the State's presence and effectiveness throughout Haitian territory, by bringing decisions and actions closer to the daily lives of citizens.
