Haiti

Since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, Haiti has entered a period of severe political, economic, and security crises. The Haitian government is currently operating without any elected officials or a leadership mandate, and the country’s next elections will set the precedent for the future health of Haitian democracy. Within this volatile context, IFES has been partnering with local and global organizations as well as independent government institutions to support the people of Haiti in holding peaceful and credible elections. IFES is currently implementing the Haiti Elections Program (HEP), providing technical assistance across key areas to the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) to support institutional strengthening and the holding of credible elections to achieve a peaceful, democratic transition.
