Haiti - Politic : Donation of 21 vehicles of the European Union
Thursday, within the framework of component "institutional strengthening" of the program to support the National Transport Policy (APONTRA) of the European Union (EU), Ambassador of the EU, Javier Niño Pérez, during a ceremony officially handed over the keys of 20 vehicles pickup and a station wagon, to Charles Jean-Jacques, the National Authorising Officer, which serves as an interface between the Haitian Government and the EU. A donation estimated to more than 27 million gourdes

This delivery of key was attended by several officials from the Ministry of Transport (MTPTC) and the Office of the National Authorising Officer. With this support, the Ministry of Transport and in particular its 10 departmental directorates will be better equipped to monitor road conditions and the ongoing projects and improve the condition of roads in the country.

Recall that between 2008 and 2013, the European Union has allocated about 30% of the overall budget of its aid to Haiti to road transport, is 267.5 million euros. By 2017 (and since 2010 only), the EU will have vested some 178 million euros in the national transportation policy, or more than 10 billion gourdes. 20% of the amount provided by the French Development Agency and 80% through the European Development Fund.

The objectives of the bilateral cooperation in the field of transport is to build and maintain roads, carry out necessary studies and provide institutional support to MTPTC. Improve road infrastructure in a sustainable way is beneficial for citizens by facilitating their access to fields, markets, schools and health facilities. Good road infrastructure is also fundamental for economic actors to develop exchanges between the centers of production and consumption, between the cities and the countryside, and in general to open up the interior.
