WASHINGTON, CMC – Haiti’s acting Prime Minister, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, has expressed his government’s support for an Organization of American States (OAS)-led Roadmap for Stability and peace in the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries.
“I wanted to let everybody here know that my presence means one thing and one thing only: the Haitian government completely supports the Roadmap and we will participate actively and -you know we might have little differences – but it’s for the good of the Haitian people, so we are all in,” said the Prime Minister.
OAS Secretary General Albert Ramdin stated that the OAS has convened a series of high-level meetings to advance the recently announced Roadmap for Stability. The latest meeting, held on Thursday, included representatives from the Haitian government, OAS member states, and all major stakeholders supporting Haiti.
He stated that the meeting had garnered widespread support for the Roadmap, its goals, and its methodology.
“Since we presented the first draft of the Roadmap, we have incorporated feedback from the United Nations, CARICOM, various institutions, and member states,” said Ramdin.
“We will produce the next version following a fuller response from Haiti after technical-level meetings on priority areas. I hope that once we start that process, you will be convinced that your contribution will be of great meaning to the improvement of the situation in Haiti.”
The Roadmap comprises five strategic pillars: Security, Stabilization, and Peace Restoration; Political Consensus and Governance Support; Electoral Process and Institutional Legitimacy; Humanitarian Response; and Sustainable Development and Economic Progress.
The OAS said discussions focused on national priorities and how the international community can best align with Haitian-led initiatives.
”It was announced in the meeting that Haiti has formally joined the Coordinating Group Mechanism (CGM), comprising the OAS, United Nations, and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to provide strategic direction and political oversight for the implementation of the Roadmap.
“During the meeting, participants emphasized three core concerns: the security situation in the country; the moral imperative to support the Haitian people at this critical stage; and the political viability of Haiti beyond February 2026,” according to an OAS statement issued here.
It said that Ramdin also led a meeting of the Group of Friends of Haiti, where representatives from OAS member states, observer countries, and partner institutions reviewed the updated Roadmap and discussed mechanisms for mobilizing political support, resources, and coordination moving forward.
The meeting included representatives from the UN, CARICOM, Inter American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS), the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights ( IACHR) the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the World Bank, the Pan American health Organization ( PAHO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as well as member and observer states.
”This is a moment that demands unity and coordination among international organizations as we seek to work hand in hand with Haiti to help address the web of political security and humanitarian challenges facing its people,” said the United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Miroslav Jenca.
Former St. Lucia prime minister, Dr. Kenny Anthony, who is heading the CARICOM’s Eminent Persons Group (EPG), said, “Haiti is at a precipice, and without swift, urgent, and deliberate support, it could become a failed state. “Haiti does not deserve that future. It does not deserve that outcome,” he added.
Mara Tekach, Executive Director of the MSS, provided an update on the security situation in the country and urged members of the Group of Friends to act with urgency to support the MSS.
