Former elected officials of the Republic and former high-ranking state officials, grouped within the Collective of Haitian Actors for Development and Alternative Organization (CAHDOA), participated in the signing of the national governance pact for security and the organization of elections. A gesture, according to them, that reflects their desire to encourage dialogue between sectors, but also to promote a return to stability and order in the national territory.
Members of the collective, from over twenty political parties and associated organizations, spread across several geographical departments of the country, went on Saturday, February 21, 2026, to the Ritz Kinam hotel in Pétion-Ville to approve the document named the national pact for stability and the organization of elections. These actors agreed that this document must guarantee the continuation of the transition until the organization of elections.
Lawyer and university professor Jean Fresly said he hopes that the adoption of the national governance pact will lead to the end of the transitional period in the greatest calm and that the organization of the next elections will be an asset to revitalize state institutions, where, at the level of the three branches of government, there is a void that harms proper functioning and the principles of good governance.
For his part, Auguste François Belamy, from the youth coalition of the Grand Sud movement, encouraged all national actors to embrace the fundamental objectives of the governance pact for security and the organization of elections in order to support the authorities in this much-desired peace initiative in the country, in a context where security remains essential for the future of the Haitian people.
In this regard, the steering committee of the Collective of Haitian Actors for Development and Alternative Organization (CAHDOA) is preparing to transmit to Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé a framework document likely to guide the government towards a better definition of public policies for the benefit of the general interest. Possessing a think tank as defined in its statutes, CAHDOA proposes to contribute its input and reflections within the framework of issues related to the new interim governance.
As a reminder, the Collective is mainly composed of former opposition parliamentarians. Nevertheless, these former state officials believe it is urgent to advocate for the emergence of a new responsible political class, prioritizing the nation's interests, within a logic of dialogue and reconciliation.
