Formulation of the EU’s Multi-Year Indicative Programme for Haiti 2021-2027
As part of the SBC-II contract implemented by Eptisa, ArkoConsulting supported the formulation of the European Union’s Multi-Year Indicative Programme (MIP) 2021-2027 for Haiti, the first joint programming document between the EU and its Member States for the country. European cooperation in Haiti required an updated strategic programming framework for the 2021-2027 period, amid prolonged political crisis, institutional fragility, and fragmented development interventions. For the first time, the EU Delegation sought a joint programming document to coordinate the Union’s and its Member States’ interventions around shared priorities, aligned with Haiti’s national strategies (PSDH 2012-2030, PDEF 2020-2030, PNPPS). ArkoConsulting conducted an extensive consultation process: 17 focus groups involving 90 participants from the Haitian government, civil society, the private sector, the EU Delegation, and partner cooperation agencies (AFD, SCAC, AECID), totaling 40 hours of exchanges. Based on this consultation and an analysis of sectoral policies, the team identified three priority pillars: democratic, economic, and financial governance; human development (including a flagship Team Europe initiative on education); and productive and resilient territories. The resulting document includes a results framework with over 30 indicators, baseline values, and 2027 targets. The MIP 2021-2027 serves as the strategic reference document for European cooperation in Haiti, establishing for the first time a joint programming framework between the EU and its Member States for the country.
