Summary: The strategic development program the National Assembly, Chamber of Deputies and Senate together adopted on 21 July 2006 for the 2006-2010 legislature. It is the document in which Parliament set out what it intended to become as an institution, at the point it resumed work after the transition period.
Key Findings
- The PDSPH is a four-year strategic support plan for the Haitian Parliament covering 2006-2010 and adopted in Port-au-Prince on 21 July 2006.
- It frames Parliament as central to democracy because it votes laws reflecting population needs and controls government action.
- The programme identifies major constraints, including weak public understanding of parliamentary work, weak dialogue with civil society and media, low participation and representation of women, limited human material and technical resources, low use of information and communication technologies, scarcity of parliamentary expertise, and inadequate buildings and equipment.
- Its goals are to help Parliament fulfil its constitutional role, promote political dialogue, improve relations between elected officials and the population, strengthen gender integration, modernize Parliament, and manage PDSPH implementation effectively.
- The five components are institutional development, consultation and communication strategy, gender equity, parliamentary-site and regional-office development, and management and coordination.
- Governance is assigned to a steering committee chaired by MPCE, an operational coordination committee, and a project management office with specialist staff.
