Key Findings
- IGF audited the Haitian Immigrants Identification and Documentation Program in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
- The mission covered accounting and financial management and technical evaluation of PIDIH.
- PIDIH was designed to provide Haitian migrants with archive extracts, national identification cards and passports in response to the Dominican constitutional ruling affecting people of foreign descent.
- The audit found that available resources came from MEF, UNHCR, MHAVE and PIDIH revenues, while spending was distributed across MHAVE, embassy/consulates, ONI and ANH.
- Strengths included the program's relevance to the migrant-documentation crisis and its possible self-financing over three years if resources were managed effectively.
- Weaknesses included lack of preliminary studies, weak institutional synergy, no formal management structure, no signed intervention protocol, weak planning and reporting, unjustified expenses, non-uniform accounting and poor traceability of some assets.
