Description
The United States is committed to supporting Haiti amidst its ongoing challenges, including insecurity, political instability, economic stagnation, and sluggish development. The U.S. Mission collaborates with Haiti to address gang violence, security threats, political crises, economic issues, and the root causes of irregular migration. The nation also grapples with health concerns, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the resurgence of cholera, which strains the fragile healthcare system. Following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021, public confidence in Haitian institutions has waned, and rebuilding this trust necessitates political agreements, elections, and democratic governance restoration. Haiti's long-term development hinges on security, political stability, democratic institutions, economic growth, and adherence to the rule of law, and the U.S. will support these efforts. This includes strengthening governance institutions, enhancing government revenue, promoting transparency, and addressing security and economic challenges. Education and health services also play crucial roles in Haiti's development, requiring improvements in the education system and healthcare accessibility. Encouraging investment, addressing economic issues, and advancing financial inclusion are vital for Haiti's economic growth. Finally, the United States will engage in consular services and strategic planning to manage migration and security challenges while working towards a more stable, prosperous, and democratic future for Haiti in alignment with various national strategies and goals.
