Haiti

Since the 2016 presidential election in Haiti, the country has experienced various and continued political crisis, most recently culminating in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021. The aftermath of these events has left Haiti in a precarious state. Haiti’s next elections (date unknown) will set the precedent for the continuity and health of Haitian democracy. 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 Elections and Political Processes Support Activity, which seeks to build greater confidence in the electoral process by supporting Haitian-led efforts to strengthen the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), political processes and civil society.
