The Bureau for the Monetization of Development Aid Programs (BMPAD) officially changed leadership this Wednesday, March 25, 2026. Former parliamentarian and former Director General of the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation, Jacques Stevenson Thimoléon, was installed in his role as Director General by the Minister of Economy and Finance, Serge Gabriel Collin, during a ceremony held at the ministry in the presence of several former deputies and high-ranking state officials.
This handover holds particular significance. For the first time in over two decades, according to the outgoing director, an organized and formalized transition has taken place within this public institution. The former head, Fils-Aimé Ignace Saint Fleur, welcomed this institutional advancement before inviting his successor to continue the reforms undertaken and to aim even higher.
Minister Serge Gabriel Collin set the course: transparency, regular report production, and concrete results. He reminded the new director of his obligation to the government and Haitian society in an upcoming “great battle” for the institution responsible for managing aid programs.
Jacques Stevenson Thimoléon, who has previously led the Ministry of Planning and served in Parliament, intends to leverage his dual background in service of this mission.
“We must keep the institution on the path of results and success,” he declared, adding that BMPAD must be “an instrument of performance serving the government.”
The stakes are high. In a context where the international community conditions part of its support on better fund governance, BMPAD's leadership is at the heart of transparency and efficiency requirements. The new director praised the work accomplished by his predecessor and assured that, under his leadership, results would be delivered, promising rigor and efficiency in service of the institution and the State.
This installation, modest but marked by the presence of numerous political figures, illustrates the executive's desire to place competence and experience at the service of a strategic institution for the management of international resources.
