Haiti - Social : For the first time, 3 comunes of the Northeast will have electricity
As part of the "Rural Electrification and Empowerment of Women" (ERAF) project funded by Japan, and the joint implementation of this project by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Ministry of Public Works, 79 women and 41 men from 30 Basic Community Organizations (OCB) in the Northeast, of communes of Capotille, Mont-Organisé and Vallières received this week their certificates of participation in a training program in conflict management, communication and accountability, budget management and community project management.

I am happy that this electrification project in the area will greatly contribute to sustainable development," rejoiced Castelle Latortue, Mayor of Vallière, who until now has been deprived of electrification as in most rural areas far from the network.

Dorine Jean Paul, Head of the Resilience Unit at UNDP praised the synergy between the CBOs, local communities and civil society in the North East in the implementation of this project.
