The Superior Court of Accounts and Administrative Litigation (CSCCA) has authorized the implementation of a $542.6 million contract dedicated to strengthening the border control system. The information, reported by Le Nouvelliste on February 24, 2026, confirms the joint commitment of the Haitian State—through the MEF, MJSP, MICT, and MD—with the company Evergreen Trading System Limited for a period of ten years.
The agreement provides for an initial two-year phase devoted to deployment, followed by eight years of operational management. Financially, the State will cover $13.6 million corresponding to mobilization costs, while the service provider will assume the bulk of the required investments.
The initiative aims to establish stricter control at border posts and over customs values, with the objective of increasing public revenues and curbing fraud, smuggling, and transnational crime. The announced system relies on the use of advanced technologies, including scanners, drones, satellites, and aerial assets, to be deployed notably at the ports of Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien, and Saint-Louis-du-Sud, as well as at the crossings of Malpasse, Belladère, and Ouanaminthe.
The project was adjusted following technical observations concerning guarantees and financial mechanisms before receiving final approval from the financial jurisdiction. Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé indicated that the work should begin within one month, stating that regaining sovereign control of the borders is a priority of the government’s action.
