Haiti launches its 2025-2030 Recovery Plan from the Far North: economy, social services and institutions, heading for a more prosperous future.
Cap-Haïtien, September 4-6, 2025 The Hostellerie Roi Henry Christophe was the scene of a major event for the country’s future: the official launch of the 2025-2030 Recovery and Development Plan by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), under the leadership of Minister Alfred Fils METELLUS.
This initiative, carried out in collaboration with several sectoral ministries and technical and financial partners, has the ambitious objective of revitalizing the Haitian economy, strengthening basic social services, and consolidating public institutions.
Building Haiti’s Future: An Inclusive and Participatory Plan
The MEF has chosen the Far North as the starting point for this recovery process. The North, North-West, and North-East departments were the focus of the initial consultations, due to their industrial, agricultural, tourism, and cultural potential, as well as their challenges in infrastructure, social services, and governance.
This regional tour is part of a series of inclusive consultations aimed at integrating territorial priorities and local realities into the national plan.
Discussions began with local authorities, civil society, and the private sector. Together, they identified the main challenges and proposed medium-term solutions to revive the economy and improve public services.
Day 2 September 5, 2025
The day was dedicated to local authorities and young leaders. Youth organizations expressed their frustrations but also made constructive proposals that will play a key role in achieving the plan’s objectives.
Day 3 September 6, 2025
The tour concluded with a meeting with journalists and media stakeholders at the Ekologik Resort. This opportunity for sharing ensured that the population’s key messages were heard and that they would be reflected in future decisions.
The MEF defined three main objectives for this round of consultations:
Inform and raise awareness about the three pillars of the plan and the rationale guiding future interventions.
Collect and prioritize the needs expressed by elected officials, the private sector, civil society, and youth.
Strengthen consultation between the State, local authorities, socioeconomic stakeholders, and technical and financial partners to better coordinate efforts.
This 2025-2030 Recovery and Development Plan constitutes a prioritized investment framework and a strategic budgetary orientation. It does not start from scratch: it incorporates lessons from previous experiences to ensure a realistic, inclusive, and action-oriented approach.
With this launch in the Far North, the MEF is sending a strong signal: Haïti is ready to turn the page on economic stagnation and build a more prosperous, equitable, and resilient future.
