Haiti - Economy : Strengthening the financial capacity of communes
22/05/2016 09:29:55

Tuesday, May 24 at the initiative of the Office of Management and Human Resources (OMRH) in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior and Territorial Communities (MICT) is organizing a workshop at the Marriott Hotel, on budgeting of communal public services through the State budget, to educate state actors on the need for coordination between sectoral and municipal investments.

The general objective of this workshop is to strengthen the financial capacity of communes in order to provide quality services and proximity to citizens.

More specifically, it is :

Identify financing mechanisms of Local Authorities across the State budget ;
Encourage sectoral ministries to include allocations in favor of Local Authorities ;
Create a space for dialogue between public authorities on financing of Local Authorities.

Note that over the past 20 years, despite a willingness of the State to take into account the Local Authorities in the national budget, this effort was revealed both limited and unsystematic.

Meanwhile, the Constitution promotes decentralization focused not only on the management autonomy of local governments,but also their inclusion in the State's policies and programs. To this end, the communal investments are provided through allocations from the Local Authorities Management Fund (FDGCT), the Investment Fund for Local Authorities (FICT), the communal development fund and other State contributions and of direct partners to the communes.

The Communes therefore realize a budgeting exercise that consolidates the various external contributions and internal revenue collected.
