Under the leadership of Prime Minister Dr. Garry Conille, the Haitian government took a significant step towards modernizing public administration on Monday, September 2nd, with the launch of a digital platform dedicated to managing contractual agents. This event, held at the Karibe Hotel, marks a milestone in efforts to enhance transparency and efficiency within Haiti’s public sector.
In his speech, Prime Minister Conille emphasized the importance of this initiative, calling it “a cornerstone of the government’s vision for modern and effective human resource management in the public sector.” He added that this digital platform embodies the government’s commitment to valuing every talent and resource in the service of the state, through an innovative technological tool that reflects the aspirations of a modern state.
Dr. Conille also explained that the primary goal of the platform is to provide a transparent and structured management framework for contractual agents while awaiting the establishment of a centralized database for public sector employees. “By equipping the public administration with more efficient tools, we aim to enhance the transparency and efficiency of the administrative process,” he affirmed.
Additionally, the Prime Minister stressed the need to prioritize the census of all contractual agents for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. This step is crucial for capitalizing on their contributions and optimizing human resource management. He reminded attendees that the continuous increase in the number of contractual agents calls for deep reflection and decisive actions. The new platform will enable public institutions to maintain a qualified, motivated workforce ready to deliver quality services to the population.
Beyond centralizing information and tracking agent performance, this platform will facilitate institutional communication and contribute to the creation of a reliable resource database. Dr. Conille also highlighted the platform’s significance for youth employability policies, noting that it is a key element of his government’s vision.
Secretary General of the Primature, Attorney Camille Junior Edouard, praised this initiative as a significant advancement in the government’s pursuit of efficiency and transparency within public institutions. He noted that the Primature, through the Office of Human Resources Management (OMRH), is coordinating the implementation of information systems for managing human resources, both for permanent and non-permanent positions.
According to Attorney Edouard, the integration of information technology and new organizational methods in processing contractual agents’ records is a concrete response to the current challenges facing the Haitian state. “This is an opportunity to strengthen the efficiency of the state’s administrative services,” he stated. He added that the adaptation of the computerized system will enable the state to better understand the reasons behind the increase in the number of contractual agents, identify the positions they hold, and ensure better regularization of their status.
