Development of the Amending Public Investment Program

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – In a significant move to enhance governmental efficiency, Minister of Planning and External Cooperation Sandra Paulemon convened a strategic workshop on March 13, 2026, with ministerial Study and Programming Units (UEPs). This gathering focused on developing a revised Public Investment Program (PIP) for the 2025-2026 period, marking a pivotal step in Prime Minister Fils-Aimé’s administration. The initiative underscores the government’s dedication to optimizing state resources and international cooperation funds by channeling them into high-impact, structural projects that deliver tangible public benefits. Minister Paulemon emphasized that the PIP serves as the fundamental mechanism for translating national development policies into actionable, financed initiatives. She directed the UEPs to formulate realistic, meticulously prepared project proposals that are in strict alignment with the administration’s core priorities: enhancing national security, stimulating economic recovery, and establishing the necessary framework for conducting upcoming elections. This electoral preparation is a direct commitment under the National Pact for Stability and the Organization of Elections, a landmark agreement signed on February 21, 2026. Concluding the session, Paulemon issued a call to action for all involved parties, urging heightened commitment and professional rigor to ensure the planning process effectively reinforces public governance and ultimately improves citizen welfare.
