The Citizen Observatory for the Institutionalization of Democracy (OCID), with the support of the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF), informs the general public, and journalists, students, and young creators in particular, of the launch of three national competitions within the framework of the Institutional and Political Monitoring Project in Haiti (VIP Haiti Project).

These competitions focus on the theme: “Citizen Participation for a Successful Transition” and include the following categories:

• Radio Reporting Competition;

• Audio Sketch Competition;

• Slam Poetry Competition.

Through this initiative, OCID aims to encourage citizens, especially young people, to promote peaceful initiatives that foster civic participation, social cohesion, democratic dialogue, the restoration of security, and the organization of credible elections in Haiti.

Interested individuals are invited to consult the competition rules and register online via:
