OAVCT Celebrates 58 Years of Existence

Monday, September 22, 2025, marks the 58th anniversary of the Office of Vehicle Insurance Against Third Parties (OAVCT). On this occasion, a ceremony was organized at the Karibe Convention Center in the presence of members of the administration, the government, and the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT).

In his address for the occasion, the Director General of OAVCT, Pierre Jean Raymond André, stated that « OAVCT remains a key player in national life by guaranteeing automotive civil liability, protecting accident victims, and making an essential contribution to the nation. »

According to the Director General, OAVCT is not just a public institution; it is a vital public service. « It constitutes a safety net allowing accident victims to obtain compensation. »

Aware of the challenges the institution faces, Pierre Jean André Raymond announced that a set of three (3) articulated measures have been taken: the modernization of services, transparency, and contribution to public safety.

The focus is on responsiveness and efficiency to promptly meet the needs of the Haitian population.

Participating in this event, Presidential Advisor Frinel Joseph congratulated the Director of OAVCT for the work accomplished by the institution in the areas of road and social safety.

The CPT praised the director's dynamism and will, which enable the institution to remain standing despite numerous challenges, reaffirming the government's commitment to supporting all OAVCT initiatives aimed at improving the living conditions of the population.

The Office of Vehicle Insurance Against Third Parties was founded on September 21, 1967, under the regime of François Duvalier. Its mission is to protect and ensure the safety of public road users (pedestrians, vehicles) and all those exposed to them.
