To encourage greater participation of citizens in the next elections, the OCAPH established the Citizens Alliance for Successful Elections (ACIER), composed among other of groupings, youth initiative including SCOUT d’HAITI, "initiative for the development of young people" (IDEJEN), "National Associative Network for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities" (RANIPH), "Mouvman fanm Kafou" (MOFKA), Future Generations of Haiti. The OCAPH intends to meet this challenge by implementing a plan that includes four major initiatives: a day of citizenship accompanied by an electronic survey on interest subjects (18 May), the implementation of a program of civic education for youth, women and the disabled (ACIER) and the organization of election debates and election observation.

"[...] We want through a broad civic education campaign, that youth groups, women and the disabled, have an active part in the process. Our objective is to mobilize the population in order to have inclusive elections [...]". Magdala Jean Pierre Michel, MOFKA member, points out that "In recent elections, the women participation rate was very low," while more than 50% of the 5.1 million Haitian with CIN are women "Women should vote and vote well. We will make awareness campaigns for women's organizations across the country [...]". SL/ HaitiLibre
