OAS ASSISTANT SECRETARY GENERAL ALBERT RAMDIN CALLS FOR STRUCTURAL PATH OF GROWTH IN HAITI AT UN SECURITY COUNCIL
April 6, 2009
At a meeting on Haiti of the UN Security Council earlier today, Assistant Secretary General Albert Ramdin praised “ongoing strong collaboration between the United Nations and the Organization of American States as well as their partnership on the ground in Haiti”. He noted that this partnership has been instrumental in “strengthening state institutions, improving capacity building and facilitating Haiti’s efforts to implement its priority reconstruction programs”. Among other positive developments in Haiti, Ambassador Ramdin highlighted the inclusive approach demonstrated by H.E. President Rene Garcia Preval, which contributed to a relatively stable political and security environment, achieved through the efforts of the Haitian National Police and MINUSTAH.
The Assistant Secretary General insisted that the time has come for the international community to redirect its collective efforts, with the assistance of the domestic and international private sector, to create economic opportunities through short term initiatives and at the same time lay the foundations for a structural path of growth and development through investments in education, health, the agriculture sector and natural disaster mitigation and risk reduction programs.
In reiterating OAS and international donor commitment to Haiti, the Assistant Secretary General underscored the importance of the upcoming partial senatorial election, scheduled for April 19. OAS support has resulted in the modernization of the civil registry and the provision of ID cards to more than 95% of the adult population. He also highlighted the international donor conference on Haiti, which will take place on April 14 in Washington DC, and which aims to launch a new cooperation paradigm for growth and opportunity.
“While the political, social and economic development of Haiti is in the first place a Haitian responsibility, we believe that is also an obligation of the international community to politically and financially accompany this process of recovery and reconstruction,” Ramdin added.
