Haiti - Culture : Signing of a MoU with more than forty cultural organizations

Thursday, December 7, 2023 at the Karibe hotel, Emmelie Prophète Milcé, the Minister of Culture launched the Program "Support for cultural actors for the promotion of Peace and respect for human rights to young people" and signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry and more than forty cultural organizations in the country.

The implementation of this protocol is supported by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Peacebuilding Fund and Thames in within the framework of this Program.

This protocol aims above all to provide technical and financial support to cultural actors so that they develop and convey a counter-narrative to violence around young people, while strengthening their civic and civic engagement.

Minister Milcé specified that cultural actors must act in their respective communities to make it understood that Peace is a "sine qua non" condition for radical change within society and thus contribute "in the fights to make the population more responsible, more tolerant, more peaceful while continuing to defend their rights."

Arnaud Royer, the Representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Haiti, insisted on strengthening efforts to build a national architecture of Peace around Haitians working in the cultural and academic fields.

This Project, which is due throughout 2024, also has the objective of cultural decentralization, the establishment of an expanded public service of culture and communication via the socio-cultural associations of the ten departments of the country, signatories of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry, so as to stop the spread of the narrative of violence in public spaces.
