CARICOM Emissaries Continue Haiti Visit, Meeting Political and Civil Society Actors

The Group of Eminent Personalities of CARICOM is continuing its tour of Haiti this week, meeting successively with political actors and members of civil society, Le Nouvelliste reported. The group has been in the country since Tuesday, September 2, and began its visit by meeting members of the government and members of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) the previous week, according to the outlet. Le Nouvelliste reported that the emissaries are holding meetings with Haitian actors across nearly all sectors, receiving grievances, complaints and recommendations from those who appeared before them. The report did not detail the specific outcomes of the meetings or the positions expressed by individual participants beyond the general framing. The visit comes amid broader regional engagement on Haiti's political process, including CARICOM's earlier acknowledgment of the electoral calendar published by the CEP, and the expected arrival in Port-au-Prince of Organization of American States Secretary General Albert Ramdin, per Le Nouvelliste. Further details of the delegation's findings and any recommendations were not available in the reported excerpts. The outlet indicated the group's engagements are ongoing as it seeks input from a wide cross-section of Haitian society.
