Inter-Institutional Protocol on Interoperability of Public Finance Systems
Summary: The protocol between the tax administration (DGI) and customs (AGD) on making their public-finance systems interoperable. Data not moving between DGI and AGD is a standing constraint on Haitian revenue administration, and this is the agreement that addresses it. Scanned; text recovered by OCR.
Key Findings
- Is the instrument that makes tax and customs data move: an interinstitutional protocol between the DGI and the AGD, both technically deconcentrated services of the finance ministry, signed by their directors general in June 2025.
- States its own status plainly, as a structural benchmark under the agreement signed between the Haitian state and the International Monetary Fund, which is what gives the protocol a deadline rather than an intention.
- Places the work inside the public financial management reform launched in 2013, which made state financial information systems one of its priority axes, so this is the delivery of a twelve-year-old commitment.
- Grounds the design in the Schéma Directeur Informatique, which calls for integrating the public finance management system by bringing together the transactions of the expenditure side and those of the revenue side.
- Makes database interoperability the necessary condition for that integration, rather than treating it as an IT preference.
- Names the signing officials and their offices, the DGI at Avenue Charles Sumner and the AGD at Boulevard Toussaint Louverture in Port-au-Prince, so the commitment is attributable.
