Since his return to the head of the Office of the Secretary of State for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities (BSEIPH) on April 4, Secretary of State Gérald Oriol Jr. is on all fronts, multiplying sessions with public and private actors as well as NGOs, with a view to mobilizing actions for people with disabilities.

As part of these efforts, Secretary of State Oriol has already met with Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant, the National Commission for Public Procurement (CNMP), the Economic and Social Assistance Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank, the European Union, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID - Haiti), the Embassies of Brazil, Japan, Mexico and Canada. He also met with representatives of the different networks of people with disabilities, such as the National Association for the Integration of People with Disabilities (RANIPH), the Haitian Federation of Associations and Institutions of Persons with Disabilities in Haiti (FHAIPH), the National Coalition for Disabled Persons Organizations for the Integration of People with Disabilities (CONOIPH).

"We had an interesting meeting with the CNMP and we worked together to see how this Commission could establish a mechanism that takes account of the universal accessibility standards when awarding a public contract in accordance the wishes of article 27 of the law on the integration of people with disabilities," stressed Oriol.

Through these initiatives and initiatives, the Secretary of State hopes to mobilize resources and bring international donors and public sector actors to a greater focus on disability issues to better support people with special needs.
