They also aim to encourage the rational structuring of the sector by bringing together producers and operators through associations, cooperatives and mutuals for better productivity [...] the ONART enters the era of modernity and innovation using the New Technologies of Information and Communication (NTIC) to collect and publish information on the Haitian Artisan sector while formulating programs of promotion and marketing both inside and outside the country in the context of matching supply and demand.
