Full Description
Issued as an annex to the Ministry of Economy and Finance's (MEF) framework letter for the preparation of the FY2024-2025 budget, this document ("Les Grands Chantiers") lays out five priority chantiers (work sites/pillars) that budget-holders are instructed to fund. Chantier 1 (public and national security) calls for rehabilitating police stations and outposts in gang-affected zones, expanding PNH and FADH recruitment and training, acquiring modern equipment (armored vehicles, drones, surveillance technology), creating a Fonds de Soutien a la Securite, establishing communal security councils, deepening international security cooperation (UN, INTERPOL), and digitalizing security management. Chantier 2 (economic recovery and infrastructure) prioritizes rehabilitating roads, bridges, and electricity networks in Port-au-Prince and the Artibonite, supporting MSMEs, digitalizing public services and tax/customs administration (AGD, DGI), recapitalizing crisis-hit firms via the central bank, and cutting non-priority spending such as excessive public-institution rents.
Chantier 3 (food security and basic social services) covers support to small farmers, food stock creation, fisheries, potable water and sanitation rehabilitation, reopening closed health centers, mobile health clinics, school rehabilitation and materials, and cash-transfer and social-protection programs including gender-based-violence response. Chantier 4 addresses financing a national conference on constitutional reform and preparations for elections, including CEP capacity, electoral infrastructure, and public communication campaigns. Chantier 5 (rule of law and justice) covers rehabilitating courts and prisons, reducing prolonged pre-trial detention, strengthening the anti-corruption unit (ULCC), and improving access to justice. The document contains no budget figures, tables, or costed line items; it is a narrative statement of policy priorities for ministries to translate into their own budget submissions.
Notes
Cover page is undated (no month printed); publication month (2024-09) is inferred from the source site listing metadata ('Publie le' 12 sept. 2024 on mef.gouv.ht), not from the PDF text itself. This file is a near-duplicate: it is byte-identical (sha256 3869ce80...) to mef-annexe-cadrage-2024-2025-fr.pdf, downloaded separately as a mef.gouv.ht mirror of the budget.gouv.ht original (dated 11 sept. 2024 there). Treat as the same underlying document as mef-annexe-cadrage-2024-2025-fr; consider de-duplicating at publish time. Document is a narrative policy-priorities annex with no budget tables or monetary figures, hence key_numbers is empty.
