Detailed project description:

The project aims to reinforce the Haitian administration both through the provision of high-level technical assistance to eleven Ministries and through the coordination of development aid to the country.
The project contributes to the elaboration of concrete tools, mechanisms and methods to improve the efficiency of the Haitian administration, notably:

  • the drafting of a work plan for the Haitian administration covering the 2007/2008 period
  • the definition of concrete measures for administrative restructuring and reform, based on the priorities, main objectives and available resources of each ministry
  • the elaboration of terms of Reference detailing the necessary technical assistance for the implementation of the work plan and managerial reforms. The Terms of Reference aim to help the Republic of Haiti to raise future public international aid for its development.

An initially unforeseen activity was added to the programme. It consists of the provision of similar high-level expertise to the Haitian Presidency and Parliament.
The eleven Ministries that benefit from the project are: the Ministry of Justice and National Security, the Ministry of the Interior and Local Governments, the Ministry of Strategic Planning and External Co-operation, the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Social Affairs, and the Ministry for the status of Women.
