Haiti - Politic : Towards a gradual resumption of activities in the Great South ?
This week, Jude Saint-Natus, Director General of the Ministry of Interior and Territorial Communities accompanied by Mrs. Alta Jean Baptiste, the Director of Civil Protection, held a meeting with Shane Kopp, head of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Haiti. This meeting was an opportunity for participants to think about the strategy proposed by the government to support the population sustainably in addition to ad hoc humanitarian aid.

Jude Saint-Natus stressed the need to rethink the habitat in areas affected due to natural threats. A strategy accepted by the participants that will be supported by the Ministry of Public Works and the Public Enterprises of Promotion of Social Housing (EPPLS), state actors who have expertise in this area since the 2010 earthquake.

It was also discussed the possibility of seeking financial partners for the repair of damaged houses, the reconstruction of destroyed houses and relocation of families living in vulnerable areas and thereby initiate the recovery phase.

Meanwhile, it was decided to distribute "provisionally" tarpaulins especially to displaced persons occupying the classrooms of schools to allow the reopening of classes in the Great South departments. Approximately 70,000 tarpaulins are being collected to be distributed to the affected population, with the support and coordination of international organizations... It is also planned to train personnel who will install these tarpaulins, taking into account the different types of interventions to achieve, depending on the form and type of construction to ensure an effective and proper protection.
