The EU has announced €19.5 million in budget support to help Haiti provide essential services and stabilize its economy. This is part of the EUs broader response to Haitis crisis, including security and humanitarian aid. The funds aim to enhance local resilience, combat gang activity, and support the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSSM).
The support aims to stabilize Haitis economy and promote reforms, focusing on governance and public financial management. It includes new initiatives worth €40 million to advance education, customs administration, and development in North-East Haiti.
