Haiti - Education : Training of the territorial public service
Yesterday Thursday, during a workshop on the work done by the Mission of the Directorate of Territorial Collectivities (DCT) and the mission of National Center for Territorial Public Service of France (CNFPT), Jean Fritz Jean-Louis, Secretary of State of Territorial Collectivities, said he was very interested in the creation of a national training center of the territorial public service.
"...Decentralization must first go through Education" supported the Secretary of State "...Our goal is to arrive to establish what I call a municipal training center, [...] This will be a school able to train the executives for the municipal public service. Today, we think we have a duty to secure jobs at the level of the territorial collectivities. Because there is something that is more or less normal, that people pay every time there is a change in the cartels, by elections... regardless of how... executives who have spent years and years in their positions are no longer there one morning, and the population finds itself with people who are learning on the job...
We believe that today, the policy should set the tone, but we also believe that technology has its place in the change that we advocate. That's why we will try to give the technique, a certain place, so that people who are able to stay, get the respect they deserve ... [...] Today, the main activity [of the workshop] was an assessment of the trades that are performed within the territorial collectivities. We are doing an inventory of these professions, to see if it is possible to have a sheet for their training, see the level of people that we need for these positions, what course these people should follow, to ensure that when there is work to be done at the level of the territorial collectivities, it be done by people who are ready to master the field of intervention."
