Haiti's Economy: Navigating Challenges and Finding Opportunities Haiti's economy is facing tough challenges, but I believe there are also great opportunities for us to turn things around. From political instability affecting investment to gaps in infrastructure, the road isn’t easy. But with the right focus, we can build something stronger. What’s Holding Us Back: _ Political instability has made it hard to attract foreign investments. _ Our infrastructure needs major improvements to help local businesses grow and thrive. _ Public administration reforms are crucial to building trust and efficiency. Where We Can Grow: _ We have a young, determined population ready to innovate and build businesses. _ Key sectors like agriculture, tourism, and renewable energy offer untapped potential. _ Strengthening anti-corruption efforts will boost confidence for investors at home and abroad. We may be up against a lot, but I know that together, we can work towards a brighter future for Haiti. Let’s keep pushing for the changes we need to see real growth and opportunity for everyone. #Haiti #EconomicResilience #FutureOpportunities #TogetherWeGrow

Haiti's Vision 2034: Transforming from a Failed State to a Stable Economy and Democracy in 10 Years In 2024, the multinational security support (MSS) intervention marks the third foreign effort to stabilize Haiti in three decades, highlighting its status as a failed state. However, amidst this turmoil lies an opportunity for profound transformation. Firstly, addressing corruption is paramount. Establishing Haiti’s first Independent Office of Personnel Management, complete with its own law enforcement agency, signals a shift towards meritocracy and accountability within the public administration—a crucial step in rebuilding Haiti's governance. Secondly, the education system is in shambles, exacerbating the nation's woes. By offering English and STEM education alternatives, starting with 8-year-olds in October 2024, Haiti can pave the way for a more educated workforce, aligning with the Caribbean Examination Council curriculum and preparing for economic sustainability. Thirdly, the establishment of the Independent Haiti Economic Development Board (HEDB) is pivotal. With a focus on exports, technology, and tourism, the HEDB can chart a course towards a vibrant economy. By crafting a 5-year economic plan with clear benchmarks, Haiti can work towards stability and openness in its economic landscape. In conclusion, the Haiti Vision 2034 plan offers a comprehensive roadmap for Haiti's resurgence. By addressing corruption, revamping education, and fostering economic development, Haiti can transcend its troubled past and emerge as a beacon of stability and democracy in the region. With concerted efforts and international support, Haiti has the potential to realize this vision within the next decade. Roberto Tito Baptiste #foreignpolicy #haiti #un #statedepartment

Part 1- How To Make Haitian-led companies more profitable and attractive to foreign investors at home and abroad … Haiti ’s potential is vast, but its challenges are equally real and palpable that none can bear nor know how to overcome them. A lot Haitian-led companies and individuals abroad are looking forward to investing back home, but with no easy access. It is critical and necessary to recognize the due diligence that is needed when it comes to make long term investments when the market conditions are unpredictable and uncertain. It is the responsibility of these investors to seek out the best alternative investments that come along with the best opportunities that are possible and presented. No private investment is a given, but a dedicated commitment to growth, innovation, and transparency. It’s not just about being a patriotic person only, but to ensure the hard earned money is protected and invested in the right conditions, in the best vehicles or companies that provide the best returns.It is also about ensuring that the local communities or Haitian population can benefit from these investments and the areas where these companies operate are safe, touristy, and stable from all insecurity shenanigans in Haiti for future growth to benefit directly all citizens. So true that these companies must have a strategic growth plan and run their operations smoothly and a strategic growth plan that can adhere to the global agendas like ESG ( Environmental, Social, and Governance) of UN agencies, and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) principles that are legally binding and required by these entities for empowering the communities socioeconomically for equitable development to improve human and social wellbeing of the citizens Haiti Executive Board is advocating for empowering business development with growth strategies of Haitian-led businesses in Haiti and abroad so they can increase private investments and help them diversify in more product-based and cross-market economies to improve their productivity, profitability, and sustainability..

How can Haiti work to improve its economy through sustainable urban growth and active participation and investment of its human capital… Haiti’s core values are its people and educated workforce. They can leverage the transformative power of technologies to address its social and economic challenges with the use of the digital tools to better integrate innovation and transformation in their ecosystem and to increase productivity and harness economic growth with a more inclusive and equitable society. By empowering these professionals, they address national economic challenges or address national economic priorities, drive community service, and lead change. Haiti must show its genuine commitment and leadership in developing new policies to reform its workforce, and strengthen the competitiveness in its markets to hire the best of its talent. The government must open diverse contractual arrangements for SMEs in Haiti to hire young workers and contract young professionals to sell their services to government agencies, enforce labor laws to help private companies to get access to growth capital with a guaranteed loan up to 90 percent with effective business operations and financial planning. This will give Haitian entrepreneurs and professionals more access and flexibility to develop their business and hire the best talent and grow their businesses. They will be eager to do business with excellence and growth mindset, expand to new territories and markets while fostering and promoting sustainable development and long term growth. Haiti Executive Board wants to advance its regional economic development in Haiti and helps accelerate the United Nations ‘s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through digital technologies that can empower urban development and access to growth capital. This will enable more digital solutions and financing to enhance growth targets of various #SDGs while creating more opportunities for people to participate in the workforce improving physical barriers to do business with better infrastructures and commercially viable architectures and processes. It is commendable to work in collaboration with various top development UN agencies like UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme), UNIDO , UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and UN Environment Programme to establish their regional offices inn Haiti to advance effective concessional financing and better access to sustainable and urban development… Haiti needs these resources to develop its economy at scale… If that resonates with you, Take the Pledge here : https://lnkd.in/ermdvaaE If you desire to also commit your time and skills for this Economic Pledge, join the HEB Young Ambassadors Program (HYAP ): https://lnkd.in/eFvnzVHk Applications will be closed on Nov 15th, 2024 . #haiti l #haiticentralbank l #brh l #haitianeconomy l #hyap

A mission letter to the development commissioner (or international partnerships, as it's been called for the last 5 years) that has 0 references to: - education - health - food and/or hunger - inequalities One single reference to poverty, to say that's what the EU has done "in recent years". Now, it's all about "economic foreign policy". Its role in Africa is about bridging the investment gap through Global Gateway, which is itself "infrastructure investment, trade and macro-economic support". In an age where remittances overtake foreign direct investment as a main source of external financing, and with the Draghi report highlighting the demographic disaster our labour markets are facing, migration is only referred to in its ilegal dimension.
