Full Description

This is a decree (arrete) of the Haitian government, signed at the National Palace in Port-au-Prince on 12 September 2016 by provisional President Jocelerme Privert, together with the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers. It notes that the sociopolitical situation following the recent elections led donors to withhold financing for electoral activities, that the budgetary credits previously allocated to electoral activities had been fully consumed, and that the government therefore decided to open additional credits to ensure continued financing of the electoral process. Article 2 opens supplementary credits of seven hundred ninety-seven million six thousand three hundred forty-four gourdes and 00/100 (Gdes 797 006 344,00) as an advance on current expenditures of the fiscal year 2015-2016, on the 'Activites electorales' line of Public Interventions, funded from dividends of modernized public enterprises, autonomous public bodies, and the public banking sector not foreseen in the initial 2015-2016 budget.
