On Friday, June 12, 2026, the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation (MPCE) organized a workshop on the 2025-2026 Amending Public Investment Program (PIP), bringing together the heads of the Planning and Programming Units (UEPs), representatives from sectoral ministries, and autonomous agencies.

In her opening remarks, Sandra Paulemon, the Minister of Planning, reiterated her Ministry's central role in leading the national development planning process, coordinating public investments, and aligning projects with the Government's strategic priorities. She emphasized the importance of the UEPs' work in identifying, programming, monitoring, and evaluating public projects.

The Minister also reiterated that the projects included in the revised Public Investment Program (PIP) must directly contribute to the priorities defined by the Government within the framework of the National Pact for Stability and the Organization of Elections, as well as sectoral roadmaps, particularly in the areas of public governance, security, infrastructure, basic social services, economic recovery, and institutional strengthening.

With the final three months of the 2025-2026 fiscal year approaching, the Minister urged the relevant institutions to strictly adhere to the monitoring and evaluation procedures established by the Ministry and to submit the required information within the prescribed deadlines, in order to ensure the effective management of the national investment portfolio.

Discussions also focused on updating the performance indicators of the revised PIP as of September 30, 2026, with particular emphasis on defining measurable, realistic, and objectively verifiable indicators that allow for a concrete assessment of the impact of public investments on the population.

Minister Paulemon concluded by calling on all stakeholders in the national planning system to strengthen inter-institutional coordination, information sharing, and a results-oriented culture, with the aim of increasing the impact of public interventions for the benefit of the population.

In his remarks, Guy Roméro Latry, Director General of the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation (MPCE), urged all stakeholders to redouble their efforts to improve their actions, emphasizing that the success of the revised PIP will depend on the collective ability to transform mobilized resources into concrete, measurable, and sustainable results for the benefit of the population.

For his part, Frantz Bastien, Director of Public Investment, stressed that this workshop is part of the mobilization of key stakeholders in the national public investment system, with a view to implementing the PIP during the remaining three months of the current fiscal year. According to him, the revised PIP is not simply an administrative exercise, but a genuine strategic management tool that allows for updating projects in light of the evolving national context, revising costs, timelines, and implementation methods, and integrating new government priorities.

The workshop continued with a detailed review of the projects included in the 2025-2026 revised PIP, as well as an assessment of their implementation status and prospects for completion.
