National Agencies: An Autonomous System for Accountable Public Service
National Agencies are autonomous institutions free from political influence. They report directly to the ADN, with oversight from the President, who ensures each agency fulfills its mission. Each agency is led by a Director General, appointed by the President and approved by both the Senate and the ADN.
These agencies exist to protect citizen rights, receive complaints, and investigate the performance of public services. They promote transparency, equity, and efficiency, and represent the interests of the people—not political agendas. By operating independently and publishing transparent reports, they strengthen democracy and build a culture of public accountability.
Among the agencies with a vital role in Haiti’s democracy, the Agency for National Elections stands out. It ensures that elections are fair, impartial, and reflective of every citizen’s voice. Under the Pi Bon Ayiti framework, this institution is fully shielded from political pressure—free from party control or manipulation. This independence allows it to operate with integrity and restore public trust in the electoral process.
Beyond oversight, these agencies serve as bridges between citizens and the state. When a complaint is filed, the agency must investigate, seek solutions, and pressure the responsible ministry to respond. This gives the public a direct mechanism to defend their rights without political interference.
Agencies may also launch initiatives to improve service quality—setting national standards for health, education, transport, or professional licensing. They can conduct surveys, gather data, and publish findings on what works and what needs reform. This allows governance to evolve with the realities of each community.
This plan is rooted in values of transparency, merit, and service. It affirms that government must answer to the people—not control them. When agencies operate independently with leaders chosen for competence, it builds a dignified, effective state founded on trust and justice.
