It is urgent to work on the revival of agriculture so that it is more competitive in order to ensure the food and nutritional security of the population and reduce dependence on imports, or even generate export surpluses in specific sectors (such as yams, mangoes, cocoa). » In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, through its effects on the supply chains of health and agri- food equipment, the activities were carried out with a specific focus on the need to increase the resilience of the Haitian agri-food system, both from the point of view of food safety and the organization of value chains. In its new 2020-2024 strategy, the Representation has opted to work for an inclusive agriculture turned towards the future, with four (4) major axes: 1. Improvement of Agricultural Governance (establishment of a Strategic Monitoring Unit; legal framework) 2. Capacity building of agricultural producers (establishment of a Technology Unit, Advisory Services System) 3. Expansion of access to markets (creation of a Haiti Organic Label, revitalization of rural markets) 4. Safeguarding natural capital and productive land potential. II. ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT 2.1. Support for innovation (Covid-19 response) 2.1.1. - Thanks to a fundraising, IICA financed a research activity on the farm of the CRDD of Bas-Boën under the supervision of the MARNDR and the FAMV relating to: - The introduction of a motorcycle-drawn plough and a portable brush cutter, in response to the scarcity of agricultural labour at the time of ploughing. The innovative experiment was supported by the Department of Agricultural Infrastructure of the Ministry of Agriculture; - Evaluation of the % of Brix in 4 local maize varieties and adaptation of a sweet variety UW7 from Trinidad and Tobago. 2.1.2.- Under the leadership of Agriterra 1 , IICA-Haiti participated in the implementation of the Agridigitalization project financed by IFAD 2 , through: - Training, mainly virtual, for members of producer organizations on the themes: introduction to digital marketing (15 participants from 5 institutions) and support for the promotion of 1 Agriterra, a Dutch NGO 2 IFAD, International Fund for Agricultural Development Page 2 of 5 their products; digital applications for marketing (Moncash, Facebook marketplace, WhatsApp Business Apps) for 22 organizations; - The development, during various meetings and workshops, of the AgriExt mobile application, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture (MARNDR), for the distance training of farmers and its launch to 70 participants from MARNDR, the private sector, partners and producer organizations. The app will seek to streamline and improve interaction and information exchange between extension agents and farmers, as well as facilitate access to priority information to address producers' issues. The application will be managed by MARNDR and will be part of its extension system, through a special commission created for this purpose, with tools provided by IICA. - This project aims to mitigate the effect of COVID-19 and the ensuing crisis in general, by promoting digital solutions that enable better internal management and better access to markets and finance. 2.2. Support for food safety - IICA facilitated the presentation of the Chilean food safety system by their ACHIPIA Agency to the managers of the Health Protection Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture. This meeting opened the debates on the safety system to be established in Haiti by including all the institutions concerned, in order to strengthen the capacity of producers to produce healthy food, reassuring consumers and thereby increasing sales; - Publication of posters for companies on safety on the themes: General Food Safety; Hygiene of the salesperson; Product Overview and Environment. 2.3. Support for Animal Health As part of the special activity on African Swine Fever with the outbreaks detected in the Dominican Republic in 2021, support was provided to the Ministry of Agriculture, to inform the public of the disease, through 4 publications: 2500 brochures in Creole, 2500 brochures in French, 2500 posters in Creole and 31 banners for the streets. Theme of the campaign related to prevention: Protecting the Haitian pig herd against the contamination and/or spread of African swine fever. The communication strategy proposed to the MARNDR aimed to: - Breeders, - State institutions (MSPP, MCI, MICT, MEF, etc.), customs/immigration and local authorities, - Consumers, - Professional associations, veterinarians, faculties of agronomy, etc. - The Butchers, restaurants/merchants 2.4. Support for the fight against climate change / Green Climate Fund (GCF) As part of the Regional Project with the funds of the Green Climate Fund, IICA-Haiti has made it possible to: - The organization of several meetings with the Ministry of Agriculture to establish a working group within the Ministry on Climate Change; Page 3 of 5 - The participation of the Designated National Authority in 2 regional meetings for the revision of the "Nationally Determined Contribution" document in order to highlight Haiti's commitments to develop a low-carbon economy through smart and organic agriculture; - Highlight Haiti's needs in terms of capacity building to address the challenges of climate change in the agricultural sector; - Identify project ideas with partners and the MARNDR for the GCF; - To organize a COP27 restitution meeting with the Ministry of Agriculture in order to establish a working group within the Ministry on Climate Change. The main objective of this project is to strengthen the foundations on which the region's agricultural sector prioritizes investments for resilience and to improve the conditions for improved reporting of greenhouse gas emissions in specified agricultural value chains. 2.5. Support for Capacity Building - The Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), in partnership with CATIE 3 , has obtained a consultation with MARNDR for the IDB-funded PITAG Project to build the capacity of groups of suppliers of agricultural goods and services, enabling them to provide adequate technical advice to farmers benefiting from incentives. A total of 108 training sessions, on various themes (animal traction and cattle breeding, business management of agricultural goods and services, Operation and Maintenance of irrigation motor pumps, etc.) were organized for about 2300 suppliers, i.e. 100% of the planning. The objective of the "Technological Innovation Program in Agriculture and Agroforestry (PITAG) was to increase the agricultural productivity of small farmers in certain localities in the departments of North, Northeast, Artibonite, South and Grande Anse. - IICA-HAITI, as per usual, facilitates the participation of professionals from both the MARNDR and the academic sector, the private sector in conferences, online and face-to-face training sessions on various themes including: Codex Alimentarius; Phytosanitary Intelligence and Biosecurity; Pesticide Risk Assessment; the chapters of the OIE Code 4 ; the use of digital technologies for the provision of technical advisory services and the marketing of family farming products; African Swine Fever emergency response plans. 2.6. Support for Food and Nutrition Security 2.6.1. With funds from USAID's Humanitarian Office, IICA executed the implementation of the Food Vulnerability Reduction Projects on the Island of La Gonave (PREVAG and PREVAG2) and facilitated: - The distribution, through local suppliers, to 12,000 families of 24,000 nutritious food kits containing local rice, cod, herring, enriched wheat flour, maize, black beans, iodized salt and oil; 3 CATIE, Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza 4 OIE: Office International des Epizooties Page 4 of 5 - The organization, in collaboration with the Directorate of Nutrition of the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP), of a series of conferences on nutrition with the participation of about 500 participants, including students; - The distribution of 10.94 tons of sorghum, pigeon peas and root peas to more than 2,000 farmers (30% women); - The distribution of 4000 seedlings according to the choice of the beneficiaries (citrus, tamarind, cedar, cassia, soursop), 4000 elephant grass cuttings (for goat farmers) and 500 mangrove seedlings; - The creation of three nurseries for the production of 20,000 seedlings for the establishment of groves and energy plantations, including one at the level of the Agricultural Bureau of th eMoA; - The organization of training sessions on wood energy, integrated pest management, post-harvest management for 5,000 farmers (38% are women); - The publication of four didactic documents on seedling production techniques/reforestation and the management of energy plantations, a guide for artisanal seed production and a guide on integrated pest management, a guide on goat farming. This project aimed to improve the availability of cereals and proteins, strengthen the capacity of beneficiaries to become more resilient, and ease the burden on vulnerable families with direct food assistance; also, to promote the rational production of charcoal through training on wood energy and the creation of nurseries, in the communal sections targeted. 2.6.2. The IICA assisted the CNSA in its participation in COP 27 and the organization of the restitution session at the MARNDR. The Coordinator of the CNSA concluded during this session: "The impacts of climate change, from extreme weather to slow-onset events, are being felt across several sectors of national economies and activities, including agriculture and food production, augmented by other challenges, whether geopolitical, cost-of-financing or supply chain-related. And at a time of heightened food insecurity, it is important to have a discussion on how to address the necessary increase in agricultural productivity, shift to resilient agriculture, reduce losses in the food production chain, including through cold chain solutions and ensure that relevant measures are in place to ensure sustainable food security and manage any potential food crisis." 2.6.3. The Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) has provided financial support to CNSA to conduct the Integrated Food Security Framework (IPC) classification analysis it carried out in Haiti during the year 2024. 2.6.4. Thanks to funding from the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA), the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development (MARNDR) has engaged since August 20, 2024, for a period of thirty months, the IICA-GIRADEL group as an Operator of Incentives Related to Animal Production, as part of the implementation of the "Resilient Agriculture for Food Security Project"(PARSA)''. This project aims to respond to farmers' losses due to the passage of the earthquake of August 14, 2021 and Hurricane Grace on August 16 and 17, 2021 in the Great South and to a lesser extent to Page 5 of 5 the food insecurity crisis that is hitting the Centre department due to drought, difficulties in accessing production factors and other factors. The main objective of this activity is to contribute to the repopulation of animals in the 32 affected communes, with a focus on gender. 2.6.5. Advocacy with the various ministers of agriculture for: - A new approach to food and nutrition security, based on the conclusions of the document of the new strategy of the IICA in Haiti (involvement of the ministries concerned in the Food Security on their role; - The establishment of a Strategic monitoring unit for the agricultural sector; - The establishment of a Technology monitoring unit to encourage young people to come and stay in the sector and also increase productivity; - The support for an attractive business environment and Safeguarding natural capital.

SECURITY STABILIZATION AND PEACE RESTORATION Priorities of the Haitian Government Comments • Strengthening the personnel of the Haitian National Police (PNH) and the Haitian Armed Forces (FADH). • The Haitian Government aims to train, with significant support from OAS Member States and strategic partners, new recruits to increase the strength of the Haitian National Police (PNH) and the Haitian Armed Forces (FADH). This initiative aims to strengthen the country's defense and security capabilities. • Acquisition of weapons, materials, armored vehicles, and equipment (helicopters, coastal patrol boats, specialized drones, personal protective gear, etc.). • The Haitian National Police and the Armed Forces of Haiti need modern weapons, ammunition, equipment, and logistical support to ensure territorial security and combat internal and external threats effectively. In this regard, Member States and strategic partners of the OAS, including the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), can cooperate to address this urgent need of the Haitian Government within the framework of the OAS roadmap. • Construction of three bases for the Armed Forces of Haiti: one in the West, one in the Great North, and one in the Great South, as well as a military academy. • Strengthening the Police Academy to make the National Security Council. • It is essential to build three strategic military bases, one military academy, and strengthen the police academy for the security forces to control the territory effectively. The government, OAS, and strategic partners need to agree on an implementation schedule for the security axis projects outlined in the roadmap. • Securing ports and borders and strengthening maritime border control with neighboring countries to curb arms and people trafficking. • The Haitian Government, in its plan to create a border management unit, requires technical and logistical support from Member States, strategic partners, and the OAS Multidimensional Security Secretariat. This support will not only help secure borders but also combat traffickers of ammunition, illegal weapons, and narcotics. 5 • Increasing the efficiency of intelligence services. • With support from Member States, OAS partners, and the Inter-American Defense College (IADC the Haitian Government aims to use PNH and FAdH departmental directorates as a basis for developing an internal intelligence network. For this purpose, assigned agents will need specialized training in military and civil intelligence, in collaboration with international experts. This service will play a key role in threat anticipation, operations security, and coordination of interventions across the territory. • Establishing an academic partnership and intensifying technical and logistical training efforts for Haitian security forces. • The PNH and FAdH can seek, as part of the roadmap, cooperation from the Inter-American Defense College (IADC) and police academies of Member and Observer States for technical and logistical training of their personnel. • Updating the Haitian White Paper on security and defense. • As part of their development plan, the FAdH can seek assistance from the Inter-American Defense Board to update the Haitian White Paper on security and defense. • Vetting within the Haitian National Police (PNH). • OAS support will be very useful in conducting vetting within the PNH. • Strengthening and modernizing the Haitian judicial system. • The Haitian Government can seek support from the OAS Secretariat for Democracy (SSD) and the Center for Studies on the Justice of the Americas (CEJA) to strengthen and modernize the Haitian judicial system through concrete projects. • Involving Haitian defense and security authorities in implementing security-related objectives and lines of action. • Implementation of security and defense objectives, lines, and projects should be carried out in collaboration with Haitian authorities. ****** 6 II. POLITICAL CONSENSUS AND GOVERNANCE SUPPORT Priorities of the Haitian Government Comments • Strengthening the April 3, 2024 agreement. • Consolidating gains achieved during the transition. • Ongoing dialogue with various stakeholders. • Maintaining a calm and stable political climate. • The OAS could continue to support the constitutional reform process and facilitate dialogue among political parties and societal actors. ****** 7 III. ELECTORAL PROCESS AND INSTITUTIONAL LEGITIMACY Priorities of the Haitian Government Comments • Funding of the electoral process. • Member states and strategic partners of the OAS could participate in funding the electoral process. • Technical and logistical support to the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP). • Securing technical and logistical support from member states, strategic partners, the OAS Democratic Support Secretariat (SSD), and regional electoral institutions is essential for the benefit of the CEP. • Electoral security. • Member states, strategic partners of the OAS, and regional electoral institutions can assist the CEP in transporting and securing sensitive and non-sensitive equipment across various voting centers nationwide. • Acquisition and enhancement of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP)'s infrastructure. • Member states and strategic partners of the OAS can support the CEP in acquiring new infrastructure and strengthening existing ones. • Modernization of the National Identification Office (ONI) and implementation of a single national database accessible by the DGI, ONI, PNH, ONA, banks, insurance companies, etc. • Member states, strategic partners of the OAS, and the Universal Civil Status Registration Program (PUICA) of the Department of Public Administration at the OAS General Secretariat can provide more significant support in modernizing the National Institute of Statistics and creating a single national database. • Respect and consideration of achievements already made by the Provisional Electoral Council. • Implementation of objectives, lines of action, and projects related to the 'election' must be done in collaboration with Haitian electoral authorities. ****** 8 IV. HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE Priorities of the Haitian Government Comments • Promoting sustainable social and solidarity economy initiatives to reduce reliance on humanitarian aid; • Cash transfers to families in the most food- insecure areas; • Design, organization, printing, and distribution of shopping cards to vulnerable populations, enabling access to products from state stores. • Enhancement of response capacities and training of agents in humanitarian crisis management; • Provision of loans to micro-entrepreneurs, especially women, youth, and persons with disabilities, and support for 10,000 income- generating projects over 24 months; • Support for agricultural and craft cooperatives; • Business management training and market • The Haitian government aims to provide immediate assistance to meet the basic needs of 200,000 vulnerable households in crisis-affected areas. • The government intends to create a National Solidarity Fund for the rapid mobilization of resources in emergencies. • The government plans to strengthen multisectoral assistance with the goal of reaching at least 50% coverage of needs within 12 months (currently 9%). • The government seeks alignment of international initiatives with national priorities based on the 2025-2026 Humanitarian Response Plan. • Humanitarian aid should be restructured to prioritize the use of local products and services in responding to population needs. • Gradual reduction of the population's dependence on humanitarian aid. • Synergy between fundraising mechanisms and Haitian government institutions to avoid resource dispersion and target multi-year priorities in strategic sectors. • Establishing a single mechanism (Government/OAS/Partners) with outcome indicators to evaluate the humanitarian response plan and activities in sustainable development; • The OAS proposal does not prioritize agriculture. Yet, it is an undeniable leverage to sustainably and independently support food and nutritional security, as well as social stability and progression towards lasting security. It is impossible to ignore the degradation of production in agricultural households affected by insecurity, as well as those hosting internally displaced families. 9 access; • Creation of 50 rural cooperatives to stimulate local production; • Urgent distribution of agricultural and veterinary inputs: seeds, phytosanitary products, water, and essential agrarian tools to boost food production and strengthen food security and nutrition; • Distribution of resilient seeds: Enable affected families and host families to quickly increase their food production, reducing hunger and prolonged reliance on aid. • Rehabilitation of irrigation systems: Restore access to water to save existing crops and enable quick planting, thus protecting harvests and the economic survival of households; • Emergency veterinary support: Immediately protect livestock animals, often the only source of protein and income for affected rural families. ****** 10 V. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH Priorities of the Haitian Government Comments The priorities of the transitional government are outlined in Haiti's Strategic Development Plan (HSDP), which is based on four major initiatives: • Territorial Refoundation: Objectives: land use planning, local development, and essential infrastructure. Key programs: - Land use planning and territorial development; - Environmental protection and watershed management. - Urban renovation; - National transportation network; - Electrification; - Digital networking and communications; - Drinking water, sanitation, waste management. • Economic Refoundation: Objectives: balanced growth, modernization of productive sectors, job creation. • The roadmap should explicitly align with strategic documents already validated or published by the Haitian government, even if these documents require updating. Notable among these are: - The recent budget framing letter issued by the Prime Minister, currently within a three- year framework; - The PSDH, officially endorsed by top state authorities and PTFs; though today it should be contextualized and updated; - RCIA, the UN Cooperation Framework (RCO), the World Bank partnership framework. - The approach should build on existing plans to avoid duplication and entails that the Haitian Government provide initial comments (general and sectoral) to the OEA. Implementation clauses • The full implementation of this Roadmap primarily depends on national ownership and also on political, financial, and logistical support from international partners. • National human and institutional resources should be prioritized even when strengthening is an essential prerequisite. Inter-institutional coherence and harmonization of funding are also indispensable. 11 Envisioned programs: - Economic governance focused on stable growth; - Modernized agriculture, livestock, and fisheries; - Local industrial development (manufacturing/agri-food); - Formalization and expansion of services; - Diversified tourism (beach, ecotourism, etc.) - Valorization of renewable mineral and energy resources; - Employment and employability. • Social refoundattion: Objectives: equity, access to basic services, human capital development. Included programs: - Education (primary to higher + technical training); - Healthcare accessible to all; - Culture, heritage, and sustained creativity; - Access to housing; - Enhanced sports, leisure, and youth engagement; - Universal social security; - Organized social solidarity; - Promotion of gender legality. Guiding principles - Haitian leadership and national ownership; - Multilateral support and effective coordination; - Sequenced and integrated actions; - Focus on local communities (regionalization); - Rights- and responsibility-based approach. • Strategies on which the Haitian Government and OEA should base their actions according to strategic geographic zones, based on the level of security control: - Zones controlled by gangs in the departments of West (particularly the Port- au-Prince Metropolitan Area), Artibonite, and Centre. - Safe zones receiving displaced persons flows and with economic and touristic potential: mainly the Grand Nord, Grand Sud, and the Border Strip. • The summary of the OEA proposal implicitly recognizes agriculture as a strategic sector for economic development and resilience in Haiti, particularly through job creation, food security, and poverty reduction, and demonstrates a willingness to support climate-resilient agriculture, rural infrastructure, and credit access. • The integration of agriculture through the roadmap is partial and superficial, 12 • Institutional refoundation: Objectives: establish a modern, transparent, and decentralized state. Targeted actions: - Legal framework reform; - Strengthening democratic institutions (legislative, judicial); - Modernization of central and decentralized administration; - Monitoring, steering, and implementation - The plan includes a management, monitoring, and evaluation framework with a unified information system, allowing tracking of program progress. - projects, funding, indicators, costs, and deadlines: - It is designed as a plan-program, built in continuity with the Action Plan for Recovery and Development of Haiti (PARDH) and previous strategies like the DSNCRP; - It also includes a proposal for a Three-Year Investment Program (PTI) for priority projects to be launched. - A phase of national consultations, regional, with the diaspora and international partners, was planned to refine and legitimate the content of the plan. with actions presented too generally, lacking specifics on priority sectors, agricultural diversification, agroecology, local processing, and equitable market access. Additionally, the link with the SDGs is not explicit: contributions to zero hunger (SDG 2), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and responsible production and consumption (SDG 12) are implicit but not operationalized. Thus, agriculture appears more as a sector to support than a true strategic engine for sustainable development and integrated resilience. Ultimately, the OEA plan should support the national strategy to strengthen food security and resilience of producers and agricultural communities. 13 • Other priorities: - Updating and adapting sectoral policies, resource mobilization, and institutional strengthening. - Development of a national seed sector adapted to climate change contexts. - Support for cooperatives and establishment of appropriate financing mechanisms for agricultural cycles. - Mobilization of youth towards agricultural entrepreneurship. - Construction and rehabilitation of irrigation and storage infrastructure. - Enhancement of scientific and technical skills of professionals in the sector. ****** 14 The sectors that contributed to the drafting of this document, coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship (MAEC), on the instructions of Prime Minister S.E.M.
