The transition period following the establishment of the Presidential Transition Council (PTC) and the appointment of the transitional government is crucial for the stabilisation and recovery of Haiti. The transitional authorities must put in place transparent governance practices and implement their action plan, including communicating to the population the progress made towards the priorities identified. The aim of this project is to provide technical support to the transition authorities in Haiti (ministries, prime minister's office, PTC) to put in place programmes and policies to ensure the continuity of essential public services and to work towards advancing priority areas for a successful political transition. The project aims also to set up mechanisms for transparency and accountability within the government and to support inclusive citizen participation to enable Haitian people take ownership of the transition process. Finally, the project also aims to build the capacity of women in key governmental positions and promote gender equality in public administration.
