During the meeting, the Prime Minister praised the committee members for their commitment to advancing Haiti’s political and social development. He noted significant progress made in recent weeks, including steps toward organizing elections, underscoring the committee’s resolve to fulfill its mandate.

The Steering Committee recently launched the constitutional revision process, a major milestone. The initiative included consultations with diverse stakeholders such as political parties, universities, women’s organizations, and other influential groups across Haitian society, ensuring broad representation in shaping the country’s future.

Prime Minister Fils Aimé reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to a transition roadmap centered on three priorities:

  1. Restoring security nationwide,
  2. Implementing constitutional reform,
  3. Conducting free, inclusive, and transparent elections.

The six members of the Steering Committee of the National Conference were officially installed in August by the President of the Transitional Council, Edgard Leblanc Fils.

The members are Enex Jean-Charles, serving as President, along with Joram Vixamar, Amary Joseph Noël, Norah Jean François, Widline Pierre, and Gédéon Charles.

During the installation ceremony, President Leblanc Fils emphasized the critical role of the National Conference in shaping Haiti’s future. He outlined three key objectives for the committee’s deliberations: revising the Constitution, defining a new social framework for Haiti’s reconstruction, and reforming the relationship between the state and society—particularly with civil society and political entities. The committee will also spearhead legal and political system reforms to stabilize the nation.

In his address, Steering Committee President Enex Jean-Charles reaffirmed the group’s commitment to prioritizing national interests over sectoral agendas. He stressed their mission to mend Haiti’s social fabric and guide the country toward sustainable development and governance reforms.
