Roadmap for the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation (Aviol Fleurant)
Summary: A roadmap sent on 29 March 2017 by Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant to Aviol Fleurant at the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation. It refers back to the general policy statement he put to the Senate on 14 March 2017 and to the Chamber of Deputies on 20 March 2017, then sets out what the ministry is to undertake over the five-year term.
Key Findings
- Makes the recovery of the Grand Sud after Hurricane Matthew the ministry's defining assignment, from proposing a reconstruction policy for the affected departments through coordinating the investment projects to following the state's land-use policy in the region.
- Instructs the ministry to make departmental directorates of ministries and deconcentrated public bodies adjust their own actions and converge their means on the Grand Sud recovery objectives, which is a coordination power over other ministries' field offices.
- Assigns it the planning, preparation and evaluation of projects and the coordination and monitoring of aid destined for the Grand Sud, so aid coordination for the region sits in one ministry.
- Requires the ministry to receive, study and direct any program or intervention proposed for the reconstruction and to test its relevance against the defined policy, which makes it the gatekeeper for external proposals.
- Requires a balanced distribution of basic public services and collective facilities across the affected departments, rather than leaving the geography of reconstruction to where projects happen to arrive.
- States that the President and government treat the Grand Sud as a priority region in order to offer technical and financial partners a new way of approaching the country's economic and social development.
