Submitted pursuant to ECOSOC resolution 2024/20, this report of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti covers April 2024 to March 2025, drawing on meetings with national authorities, civil society, BINUH, the UN country team, regional organizations, and international financial institutions. The Group notes with concern the narrowing window to deliver results before Haiti's multifaceted crisis deepens further, and calls for a comprehensive approach anchored in coordination and coherence among partners and the meaningful engagement of Haitians in all efforts to promote security, stability, and prosperity.
The report documents a severe security and humanitarian situation, including 5,626 people killed and 2,213 injured in 2024, and large humanitarian needs, with an appeal that was only about 44 percent funded against requirements to reach millions of targeted people. It reviews the deployment of the Multinational Security Support mission, the transitional political process, and progress and gaps in international assistance, and issues recommendations on strengthening security, sustaining humanitarian response, advancing the political transition, and financing long-term development under Haitian ownership.
