Haiti - FLASH : Mexico will help Haiti to electrify
21/01/2020 10:34:35

Luc Garvey Jean Pierre, Chargé d'affaires of the Embassy of Haiti in Mexico, announced that there is now a broad interest on the part of Mexico to help Haiti in particular in the development of the energy sector and more generally in the immigration sector, by exporting to Haiti one of Mexico's star programs "Sembrando Vida" (sowing life).

The Haitian diplomat said that several steps had already been taken with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard and with the Mexican authorities to promote several actions that will allow Haiti to develop above all its energy sector. To do this, a group of Mexican experts will travel to Haiti in the coming days to establish a line of work and advance a project to promote solar panels. In addition, a line of credit will be opened to allow Haiti to modernize its energy sector.

In addition, 25 grants will be awarded in the public policy sector, to tackle social issues in the coming years.

The Chargé d'affaires said that the "Sembrando Vida" program will be exported to Haiti. This flagship program in Mexico seeks to mitigate migration from mainly Central America, but which also has a significant component of Haitians. Luc Garvey Jean Pierre, hopes that with this program and the tightening of Donald Trump’s immigration policies, the Haitian flows that seek to cross Mexico to reach the United States could be significantly reduced.
