Mission Report: National Awareness Campaign on the Anti-Corruption Law of 12 March 2014

This mission report describes the ULCC's national awareness ('vulgarisation') campaign for the 12 March 2014 law on prevention and repression of corruption, launched as part of activities marking the ULCC's tenth anniversary (September 2004-September 2014). Planned to run twelve months (July 2014-August 2015), the campaign opened with a two-day training for ULCC's own staff at its Port-au-Prince headquarters (7-8 July 2014), delivered by Me Yvlore Pigeot and Me Marc-Alain Duroseau, before expanding to the nine other departmental capitals between 23 July and 29 August 2014: Saint-Marc, Gonaïves and Cap-Haïtien (Grand Nord), Miragoâne, Cayes and Jérémie (Grand Sud), Jacmel (Sud-Est), Port-de-Paix (Nord-Ouest) and Hinche (Centre), closing in Fort-Liberté (Nord-Est) on 29 August 2014.

Sessions covered the national anti-corruption strategy's nine axes, the 12 February 2008 asset-declaration law, and the preventive and repressive provisions of the 2014 law, reaching judges, government prosecutors, lawyers, judicial police officers, public officials, senators, deputies and newly elected local officials. The report tabulates attendance by city and by audience category (press, civil society, judicial sector, public agents, territorial collectivities, and others), recording 742 total participants across Port-au-Prince and the ten departmental capitals, and separately lists attendance figures by city (from 26 in Port-au-Prince to 93 in Jérémie).

It also reports a parallel training series for judges, judicial police officers and other oversight-institution staff delivered with the American Bar Association at the École de la Magistrature in October-November 2014, and closes by listing constraints participants raised, including poor follow-up on investigation reports sent to prosecutors, difficulties completing the F2 asset-declaration form, limited awareness of anti-corruption legal texts, and insufficient time for practical case-study exercises. Figures are as reported by the ULCC in its own text; the corpus text was extracted from the source .doc file with textutil (native text, no OCR).

The accompanying statistical spreadsheet published alongside this report (the same Table 1 reproduced in the narrative) is attached as this document's machine-readable data file rather than ingested as a separate document.
