Since the launch of the reform of the National Port Authority (APN), several activities and strong actions, demonstrate significant progress in the process. Nevertheless, to involve executives and employees of the APN and develop the will to progress, two observations are necessary:

Finding 1 :

Documents produced as part of the reform have been largely by external experts to the APN. Their contents are not yet appropriate for the institution to enable the implementation and application of the recommendations they advocate.

Finding 2 :

Additionally, either because of a lack of communication of the APN or either by misunderstanding, it is now emerges within the institution a mistrust, an obvious resistance to change, which if not addressed, may hinder the establishment of structures and elements of the reform or its outcome.

To carry out this project and given the business culture and experiences of the past, APN created in July https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-14404-icihaiti-politic-launching-of-work-of-technical-secretariat-of-the-apn.html a technical secretariat to assist the General Directorate to plan and carry out, among others: A document ownership plan; implementing the recommendations and recommended to set up an internal communication plan to the APN.

Responsibilities of the Technical Secretariat as part of the Reform :

This structure that participates of the vision of the Director General, Engineer Alix Célestin, to profoundly reform the national port sector to make it a development asset for the country is entrusted with the following specific tasks :
