According to Ms. Desmangles, who lives in Switzerland over the past twenty years, Haitian organizations are not really structured in his country, as well as NGOs, these organizations come to Haiti with their projects, regardless of the priority needs of the country. She is convinced that the Ministry has an important role to play in structuring and assist associations to strengthen their ties and serve as an interlocutor between Haitians in the diaspora and those of Haiti. To this end, she suggests : a) The creation of an antenna to value the services of the diaspora; b) The reactivation of knowledge transfer project TOKTEN (Transfer of Knowledge Trough Expatriate Nationals) initiated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) https://www.haitilibre.com/article-363-haiti-reconstruction-le-projet-tokten-sur-les-rails.html (in french) ; c) The revitalization of the MHAVE internet platform; d) The Proposal of a young component that allows the son of the diaspora, to explore rural Haiti through local tourism. Dr. Pierre Paul Cadet, believes, for his part that the MHAVE must identify the competent human resources of the diaspora. Use of information technologies for the Ministry o be actively involved in the communities. He recommends to increase the number of Consulate in communities with a high density of Haitians. For Judge Lionel Jean Baptiste of Chicago it is time to put together the diaspora "We need a representative in each Consulate to take the grievances of the Diaspora" For his part Edwin d'Haïti is convinced that MHAVE is important for the Haitian communities abroad and "must serve to unify the diaspora organizations to influence policy decisions in Haiti."
