  1. “The Regional Directors for Latin American and the Caribbean are firmly committed to successfully implementing the programmes of the agencies of the United Nations system, in support of national priorities and in accordance with our mandates, in close cooperation with MINUSTAH, in order to move forward on the economic and social agenda and improve democratic governance in Haiti.”

  2. “That is the main region why, through the Development Assistance Framework, the agencies of the United Nations system have made a commitment to redouble their efforts to strengthen and modernize Haitian institutions throughout the country and to promote democratic dialogue. While we are heartened by the progress that can be seen in Haiti today, the situation is precarious, and ensuring the sustainability of what has been achieved poses a major challenge. We cannot forget the brutal daily reality lived by thousands of Haitians. The agencies of the United Nations system have long provided cooperation in Haiti and hope to continue to be an esteemed, trustworthy and efficient partner.”

  3. “After the natural disasters of 2008, the Government of Haiti and the United Nations system, including the World Bank, adopted a somewhat new approach to assessing damage and losses and to identify what needs to be done to put most of the affected communities back on their feet. The conclusions of the assessment are very clear and will be useful when it is time to rebuild. They also confirm the critical and urgent need to tackle Haiti's extreme vulnerability to natural disasters. If we fail to do this, we run the risk of permanently losing much of the development investment that is being made. Let me also mention fully operational rule of law is essential to guarantee robust economic and social programmes.”

  4. “Nor shall I provide details of the significant improvements made in coordination among agencies and between the agencies and the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH); the recent high-level Security Council mission was able to observe this for itself. The agencies of the United Nations system have the experience, the knowledge and the commitment to support and work with the Government of Haiti in attaining its national priorities. The system's activities are carried out within the framework of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework, which I mentioned earlier. We are concerned at the wide gap between the financing needed to carry them out and what is currently available. I wish to note that only 26 per cent of the necessary funds are available.”

  5. “Achievements in the social sphere is key to providing the time that the economic programme needs to put down roots and grow, thus creating the conditions for significant investment to return to Haiti. We believe that it is essential and urgent to provide incentives for the creation of jobs, especially jobs for women and young people; promote agricultural activities that require many workers, that restore the productive capacity of the land and that respect the environment; and improve the low quality of and limited access to basic services. Because of time constraints, I shall not list all the achievements and contributions to Haitian development made by the agencies of the United Nations system.”

  6. “But there will be no economic development without a reduction in the vulnerability of the poor population, and I want therefore to stress the importance of promoting an inclusive and equitable social agenda. We believe that economic and social agendas must be mutually reinforcing: an economic programme or agenda intended to create sustainable jobs is an absolute necessity and would without question have a great impact in terms of reducing poverty. Its impact will be greater if it is simultaneously complemented by a social agenda that could help the most vulnerable and needy, paying particular attention to the situation of children and women. If well coordinated and integrated, the two agendas could significantly help buttress social peace and stability.”

  7. “At present, the Government is energetically leading efforts to identify priority programmes and efforts to be presented in Washington on 14 April during the high-level donor conference. That event will be an opportunity not only to renew commitments and increase economic support for Haiti, but also to continue to strengthen the country's stability, especially through a renewed partnership between the Government of Haiti and the international community and, above all, among Haitians themselves. We are certain that, at the conference, the Government of Haiti will present a clear, agreed vision for the future. The need for a robust, focused economic strategy has been sufficiently analysed by Professor Paul Collier and other distinguished colleagues. The agencies of the United Nations system endorse the approaches set out in the report.”

  8. “Recovery from the loss and damage caused by natural disasters has been slow. Food supplies do not meet demand. This is an opportune moment for Haiti, as consensus has been developed as to what must be done in the coming years. The poverty reduction strategy paper has helped to identify the major national priorities, initiatives and efforts needed to put Haiti on the path towards sustainable development and on track to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In that regard, fully in line with the poverty reduction strategy, late last year, the Government of Haiti and the United Nations agency system agreed on the United Nations Development Assistance Framework for Haiti for the period 2009 to 2011.”

  9. “Those visits have highlighted the good work done by Haiti's authorities and people, with the support of the international community, to put the country on the path towards recovery and development after having faced a series of crises and unprecedented natural disasters in 2008. The Government of Prime Minister Michelle Pierre-Louis was able to maintain macroeconomic stability. With the support of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), agencies of the United Nations system, international financial institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGO), she was able to provide a strong response to the food crisis and the chaos produced by the hurricanes that assailed the country. Nevertheless, Haiti continues to face enormous challenges. Governance is weak.”

  10. “As a member of the team of the Latin American and Caribbean regional directors of United Nations agency system, on behalf of Director Rebeca Grynspan and the team, I am grateful for the opportunity to speak in the Security Council on the question concerning Haiti. The recent high-level Security Council visit to Haiti and that by the Secretary-General with former United States President Bill Clinton have raised great expectations in both Haiti and the international community. They have also been largely responsible for establishing an environment conducive to reaffirming and revitalizing the international community's unshakable commitment to Haiti's success.”
