These contributions go well beyond our expectations. On behalf of the Haitian people, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the countries and organizations that have contributed to the recovery and reconstruction funds for the Southern Peninsula. I am delighted with the understanding and good responsiveness of the friendly countries that have agreed to participate in the establishment of a United Nations multi-donor Trust Fund to finance our reconstruction efforts. On behalf of the Haitian people, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the countries and organizations that have contributed to the recovery and reconstruction funds for the Southern Peninsula. May this new mobilization lead to lasting action, for the benefit of the populations of the Southern Peninsula! On the sidelines of the closing ceremony of the international donors' conference, I met the delegation of mayors from the southern peninsula. I took the opportunity to thank them for their participation in this international event. The event of the day was intended to be a space of solidarity on the part of national and international actors. The general objective was to find funding levers for the recovery of the southern peninsula of Haiti through the mobilization of funds from our partners. We promise everyone, all donors, that this money will be used transparently in the service of the people of the Great South. We know it is taxpayers' money from other countries. We will make sure every dollar goes to those in need."
