OAS and international mission to Haiti

Overview

The Organization of American States (OAS) has moved to strengthen cooperation with Haiti following the presentation of credentials by new resident representative Catherine Pognat to Foreign Minister Raina Forbin. Initial discussions focused on implementing an OAS roadmap, addressing national priorities, and creating internship opportunities for Haitian students.

This cooperation expanded into a high-level international mission scheduled for August 16–19, 2026. Led by OAS Secretary General Albert Ramdin and CARICOM Secretary General Carla Barnett, the delegation includes representatives from the United Nations, the World Bank, and several regional development banks.

The mission aims to coordinate support for Haiti’s security and political challenges, specifically focusing on preparations for the presidential and legislative elections scheduled for December 13, 2026. During the visit, the delegation met with Haitian officials, including the Foreign Minister, Defense Minister, and the President of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP).
