The second approach aims to reduce community violence "This new approach seeks and prioritizes community involvement in all actions leading to the creation of a safe and stable climate in a given geographic area, where there is a situation of armed violence linked to the existence of groups. This new approach allows flexibility and adaptability to the context of intervention much more flexible than the classic approach [...]" (*) Composition of the "Task Force" : The Prime Minister's Office through the Office of the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister in charge of Human Rights and the fight against extreme poverty; The Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation (MPCE); The Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP); The Ministry of the Interior and Territorial Communities (MlCT; The Ministry of Defense (MD); The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor (MAST); The Armed Forces of Haiti (Fad’H); Haitian National Police through its community police unit; The Citizen Protection Office (OPC).
