Haiti Launches 2026 ONA-Education and ONA-Police Programs

Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé officially launched the 2026 editions of the ONA-Éducation and ONA-Police programs on Thursday, according to Le Nouvelliste. Through the initiative, the government reaffirmed its commitment to education and to strengthening the social protection of police officers, the outlet reported. The ONA-Éducation program aims to help a larger number of insured families cover school and university expenses, Le Nouvelliste said. The ONA-Police program is intended to improve the social protection of officers of the Haitian National Police. The programs are administered through the Office National d'Assurance Vieillesse (ONA), Haiti's national old-age insurance office. No further figures on funding, the number of expected beneficiaries, or implementation timelines were detailed in the report. The launch was noted alongside other government developments, including the approval by the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank of a mutual trust framework, according to the same outlet.
