This paper proposes a three-year roadmap that can help to start addressing Haiti’s interlinked security and governance crises. It outlines a sequence of reforms that Haiti’s transitional administration – in whatever shape this remains – and any future elected government should develop in cooperation with the UN, other multilateral partners and a potential voluntary coalition of external governments.
The proposed measures are needed to curb gang rule and violence, enable humanitarian access, strengthen the judicial system, and professionalize and rationalize the country’s chaotic security sector.
