Haiti - Politic : Opening of the House of Local Governments 12/12/2014 10:36:58
"The Maison is poised to become a hub for both tackling the issues affecting Haiti's municipalities and supporting the efforts being made to coordinate and decentralize by bringing the country's three largest federations of elected officials together under one roof," explained UMQ President Suzanne Roy. "This new institution will help Haitian municipalities build credible and effective local governments through improved devolution of powers and resources to local authorities," declared Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) President, Brad Woodside. "We should never lose sight of our primary objective, which is to help Haiti rebuild, while restoring the institutional capacities of communities affected by the 2010 earthquake. Our efforts are in line with the Haitian government's new development framework, which seeks to make municipalities central to the country's economic development," said Montreal Mayor, Denis Coderre. The 'Maison des collectivités territoriales' will receives assistance from the FCM, the UMQ and the City of Montreal as part of the second phase of the Haiti-Canada Municipal Cooperation Program (MCP2). Through this program, Canadian municipalities share their knowledge, know-how, expertise and experience with their Haitian counterparts in order to bolster the management capacities of local governments over the long term.
