The CARICOM Eminent Persons Group has returned to Haiti to spearhead crucial negotiations surrounding a framework agreement. 

This pivotal agreement is to pave the way for a transitional governance structure that will ultimately steer the nation towards the much-needed free and fair elections.

The negotiation process

Having invested over five months in extensive consultations with the CARICOM Eminent Persons Group, a diverse array of Haitian stakeholders have now commenced deliberations on the intricate components of the Framework Agreement. 

Distinguished leadership at the helm

The CARICOM Eminent Persons Group of former Prime Ministers Bruce Golding, Perry Christie, and Chairman, Dr Kenny Anthony is accompanied by the Secretary General's Special Advisor on Haiti and CARICOM's Assistant Secretary-General for Foreign and Community Relations.

Eminent Persons Group’s previous trip 

In September, the Eminent Persons Group embarked on a trip to Haiti in preparation for a virtual meeting among regional leaders.

The focus of the meeting was to address Haiti’s escalating socio-economic and political challenges.

During the visit, the delegation actively engaged with multiple parties to find common ground for political stabilization and democratic advancement in Haiti.
