FLASH : Capacity Building Program for Political Parties (video)

On November 1st, 2025, Haiti’s Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, alongside members of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), inaugurated the Political Party Capacity Building Program at the Karibe Convention Center in Port-au-Prince. This ambitious initiative aims to empower over a thousand representatives from political parties across all ten departments, fostering a revitalized political landscape and strengthening democratic culture. The program is designed to create conditions for free, inclusive, and peaceful elections, marking a significant step in Haiti’s transitional governance. Training sessions will be conducted through three regional hubs: Port-au-Prince (West), Cap-Haitien (North), and Les Cayes (South). Developed by Haitian professionals, the program emphasizes national expertise and sustainability, structured around three key modules. The Center for the Promotion of Democracy and Participatory Education (CPDEP) will focus on organizational and functional strengthening, addressing internal governance, electoral legislation, and political ethics. Groupe Croissance S.A. will enhance leadership and financial capacity, promoting transparency and responsible resource management. Meanwhile, DAGMAR S.A. will lead efforts in communication and technological strengthening, equipping parties with digital tools and modern political communication strategies. The launch also introduced a new digital platform developed by the Information Technology and Statistics Support Group (GSIS) for registering political parties and their members. This platform aims to modernize and increase transparency in Haiti’s political system, providing the state with a reliable and secure database. Prime Minister Fils-Aimé emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting political parties in the electoral process, urging them to embrace governance based on competence, tolerance, and transparency. The first training sessions are set to begin in November 2025. As of October 22, 2025, the Ministry of Justice confirmed that over 220 political parties had registered for the upcoming elections, a 34% increase compared to the previous cycle.
