AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Youth Entrepreneurship Push (PAPEJ): Haiti’s Ministry of Trade and Industry has launched a business plan competition for the 5th cohort under PAPEJ, aiming to back young entrepreneurs with financing plus structured technical support to create jobs and formalize businesses. Humanitarian Pressure in Port-au-Prince: The UN says nearly 30,000 people fled in the last 10 days as gang attacks escalated, with families losing shelter and access to food and clean water. Security + Displacement Reality Check: UN reporting also puts gang control of Port-au-Prince at about 70–75%, underscoring how violence is driving mass movement. Infrastructure in the Southeast: The state is moving to address power and road damage, including assessing the Gaillard hydroelectric plant after about a year offline and reviewing riverbed works after cyclone damage. Food-Security Support: Taiwan signed implementation agreements to keep backing Haiti’s rice, vegetable, and fruit production, targeting producer self-reliance and food security. Regional Coordination: CARICOM leaders urged tighter foreign-policy unity as global uncertainty grows.
