“Public servants committed to service for an innovative and high-performing Haitian public administration” was the theme chosen this year by the Office of Management and Human Resources (OMRH) to mark World Public Service Day, celebrated annually on June 23.
To enhance the significance of this special day, during which public servants are recognized, an official ceremony followed by a workshop was organized at Hotel Montana.
Many high-ranking officials, public administration executives, and other important personalities graced this convivial event with their presence.
*A True Lever for Transformation*
Speaking on the occasion, the head of government, Alix Didier Fils Aimé, commended the courage, determination, and professionalism demonstrated by state public servants. In his address, the Prime Minister took care to review the difficulties faced by the Haitian public administration. These difficulties, he emphasized, have serious impacts on public servants despite their personal problems.
“We reaffirm our commitment to building a more efficient, more transparent state fully oriented towards the general interest,” stated the Prime Minister, who also wished to remind that public service is the foundation of our collective future. “Together, let us make it a true lever for transformation, stability, and hope for Haiti,” Fils-Aimé remarked.
*Recommendations to Reorient the State Apparatus*
Following the official ceremony, the public servants present were invited to a workshop, where discussions focused on the functioning of the state, the situation of public servants, and the regulation of the legal framework governing the organization and operation of public service.
This workshop allowed for an in-depth diagnosis and the formulation of recommendations that could help reorient the state apparatus.
It should be noted that World Public Service Day is celebrated this year in a particular context, paralyzing the functioning of a considerable number of public institutions.
