25/04/2015 13:44:38

As part of the 36th edition of the Thursdays of Public Governance, organized by the PARGEP and ENAPP/Primature, which was held under the theme "Private sector and civil society: two pillars essential to the reform of the State", Mathias Pierre, Marilyn Allien and Rosny Desroches, the 3 panelists concluded that it was necessary to reach a new social contract in Haiti: restoring confidence in state institutions through the provision of quality public services and meeting basic needs of the population, ight corruption by the total commitment of the State and citizen mobilization.

They advocated sound public administration, transparent, accountable, effective and close to the people. This, they believe, necessarily requires a thorough reform of the State all its dimensions. What alone can guarantee a "national commitment, of public policies adapted to the real needs of the country and the maximum involvement of all citizens."

This new social contract or "new economic and social deal" is based on three pillars: education, economic decentralization and strengthening of institutions. His promoter Mathias Pierre, CEO GaMa group and of the Foundation "Etre Ayisyen" alls, first, to a new educational system that develops useful citizens and professionals in line with expectations, priorities and needs; Then empowering communities, the emergence of a collective leadership and mobilization of knowledge and local know-how and from the Diaspora, and finally the establishment of strong Haitian institutions which promote investment and the creation businesses, ensure democracy, restore the state's authority and bridge the gap between state and local authorities.

For Pour Rosny Desroches, le Directeur de l’Initiative de la Société Civile (ISC), la réforme de l’État doit se traduire dans des résultats concrets, bénéfiques au pays et à tous ses habitants. Il prône la régularisation de l’informel, l’incitation au civisme fiscal, l’implantation de la culture de résultats et de reddition de compte tant au niveau de l’administration publique que de la société haïtienne.

As for the fight against corruption, Marilyn Allien, the President of the Heritage Foundation for Haiti, urges all citizens to be vigilant and to report the facts or corrupt practices. To do this, they can contact the Foundation, public institutions such Unit for the Fight against Corruption (ULCC) and Central Financial Intelligence Unit (UCREF).

Speaking in the circumstances, Uder Antoine, Ccoordonnateur General of the Office Nanagement and Human Resources (OMRH) recognized the ongoing efforts and achievements while highlighting their usefulness. Wondering such as assistance on the criteria for establishing the corruption index and the sources of the information collected, he lamented that public institutions, including OMRH, is never consulted either before or after the production of the reports of the Heritage Foundation for Haiti, an "anomaly" that promised to correct Marilyn Allien.
