Following the appeal launched last January, as every year by the Embassy of France to all Haitian Ministries in order to collect the candidacies of officials likely to make a qualifying training course in Public Administration alternating lessons and courses with a duration of 10 months at the ENA (Ecole Nationale d'Administration - France), a written test organized at the Embassy of France in February, allowed pedagogical managers of the ENA of pre-selecting 5 candidates for the international development cycle (CIP). These 5 candidates were invited this week to the hearings conducted by Pierre Thénard, the Director of International Relations of ENA in visit in Haiti.

A final validation jury will be held at ENA in June to determine the candidate selected for September 2016. As in previous years, a scholarship funded by the Embassy of France will be awarded to the laureate.

In addition to funding this cholarship that benefits one candidate each year, exchanges were engaged with ENA to consider creating short-term targeted training in Haiti to multiply the number of beneficiaries. Mr. Thénard also took advantage of his trip to meet the leaders of the National School of Financial Administration (ENAF) and of the National School of Administration and Public Policies (ENAPP).

Furthermore, a working meeting with the Coordinator of the Office of Management and Human Resources (OMRH) in charge of coordinating the training of officials allowed to consider for the coming years a more close collaboration with the ENA in the context of reforms in the Haitian government.
