Visit of Haitian delegation to Europe
Dear friends of the Coordination Europe-Haiti,
Herewith we present you our second newsletter. The new website has now been online for more than two months. So far we have received positive responses from different people and organisations. The Comité de Pilotage invites you to share the website link within your network. Please do also share names and contact details of people who might be interested to receive this bimonthly newsletter.
On 10 March the Coordination had its General Assembly in Brussels. There was good attendance. Part of the General Assembly was dedicated to making the members familiar with the structure and working of EU institutions. Members appreciated the training as very useful. In the next General Assembly we could build on this, e.g. by working together on a Haiti-specific issue: how to raise the issue effectively with EU institutions?
Right now we are sorting out the possibilities of organising a visit of a Haitian delegation to EU institutions and a few Member States. The visit would serve the purpose of keeping Haiti high on the agenda of the EU and Member States. Also to update politicians and policy makers about the current situation in Haiti – political, economic and social.
We would like to also organise a meeting between the Haitian delegation and the members of the Coordination Europe-Haiti. Date and place will be communicated as soon as possible.
On behalf of the Steering Committee,
Evert-Jan Brouwer, coordinator
