09/04/2011 10:15:04
During a meeting with journalists the co-President of the Interim Commission for the Reconstruction of Haiti (IHRC) Jean-Max Bellerive expressed his worries "The IHRC is a tool that can help us to ensure a better development in the country and a better coordination of donor assistance, I can not be worried about the IHRC, I can be worried about Haiti. I think and I still think that despite the criticism and despite the misunderstanding about the actual role of the IHRC, The IHRC is a great tool for the rebuilding of Haiti, now as I said [...] we must pass to another step, there was a step may be to compensate the Government weaknesses which constituted the first period of activity of the IHRC, now we are entering in a step of appropriation by the national institutions of the coordination effort and the effort of preparation of programs and projets and the implementation of these programs and projects, now it is a cycle, may be that the cycle that coming will allow a greater visibility, a better understanding of what the IHRC made... The IHRC is not there to replace neither the government nor the structures of natural coordination between the Government and its partners. I'm not worried for the IHRC I'm worried about the fact that we have a great tool which is poorly understood and which may disappear before that its mission is completed, it is my concern..."
Yesterday during the second and final day of the IHRC, Jean-Max Bellerive argued that the Commission should continue beyond October because it is "a tool that can help the stability" of the country.
