Following to a request of the local authorities of Anse-Rouge, the Minustah, as part of its support to the Haitian institutions, has completed the reconstruction of the Town Hall, the rehabilitation of the Court of peace and the concreting of three kilometres of road.

These 3 Quick Impact Projects (QIP), funded by the Minustah and executed by the NGO Action Agro-Allemande [2,340,934 gourds (± USD$58.500) for the town hall, 997.225 gourds (± 25.000 dollars) for the Court of peace and 3,997,200 gourds (± $100,000) for the portion of the road].

For a long time installed in a space with cracked walls, the town hall of Anse-Rouge is now in a new building with an area of 150 square meters that houses, besides the mayor's office and those of his two deputies, a secretariat and conference rooms and rooms for the administrator and city engineer. Two bathrooms complete this installation "Before, we could not work without worry, because the building threatened to collapse at any moment," recalls lrick Petit-Frère, the Director General of the Town Hall.

At the Court of peace, is the rain that caused a few scares, "it was enough of a few rain drops to paralyze the functioning of the Tribunal whose the heet metal roof was damaged for a long time," said the Judge Starniel Régis. The roof was changed, a custody room and a WC were built. The courtroom was enlarged and each of the two judges has its own office.

As for the segment of road from Anse-Rouge in the Department of the Northwest, it is no longer a "headache for drivers," says Brunel Métayer, the Mayor principal of the town, explaining that "during the rainy season, the vehicles could remain mired over a week due to bad road conditions."

For its part, the Government Commissioner at the Court of First Instance of Gonaives Mésac Philogène, has called for proper management of these infrastructures, particularly that of the Court of peace.

"This new City Hall and the Court of peace innovated will contribute to the improvement of working conditions of the municipal council and judges and will also facilitate public access to public services", said Ms. Nharebat Nancaia Intchasso, Regional Chief of Minustah for the department of Artibonite.
