Haiti’s Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications (MTPTC), created in 1899, aims to structure the country’s infrastructure and public services.
Despite a bloated organization of 2,000 agents and several departments, the results remain disappointing, with deteriorated infrastructures, limited access to drinking water and electricity, and inadequate telecommunications, particularly in rural areas.
The reforms envisaged are struggling to materialize due to red tape, lack of coordination, poorly optimized funding and opaque governance.
We need to reorient the MTPTC towards efficiency, by prioritizing concrete results, strengthening transparency and delegating more to the territories.
To regain the trust of citizens, the ministry must move on from theory to tangible action, or risk remaining a symbol of the Haitian state’s broken promises.
