Haiti - Europe : 9 million Euros to improve customs performance
On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Alfred Fils Metellus, Minister of Economy and Finance, and Stefano Gatto, European Union Ambassador to Haiti, signed a €9 million financing agreement aimed at improving the performance of the General Customs Administration (AGD).

This funding supports the implementation of the "Customs Revenue Increase and Combating Smuggling and Narcotics Plan (PARLUCOS)", developed by the AGD for the period 2023-2026. It will strengthen Customs' capacity to combat smuggling, illegal drug and arms trafficking, mobilize tax revenue, facilitate trade, and protect local businesses.

Through this agreement, the Government and the European Union reaffirm their commitment to strengthening the country's institutions, thereby promoting robust, sustainable, and inclusive economic development. This agreement demonstrates confidence in the country's ability to overcome current challenges.

Through this funding, the Haitian Customs Administration (AGD) is receiving significant support to :

• Modernize its infrastructure and equipment;
• Strengthen the capacity of its human resources (which already includes nearly 2,000 civil servants);
• Implement digital systems for managing customs operations.

Minister Alfred Fils Metellus emphasized the importance of signing this agreement, stating : "We are aware of the major challenges facing us, particularly in the difficult security context the country is facing. However, the Haitian Government is determined and resolutely focused on the future. Reclaiming control of the border and non-border Customs offices is the fundamental objective to ensure the successful implementation of these reforms. This action, more than just an important step toward modernizing the customs administration, will be an essential contribution to the country's peace, security, and stability..."
