FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

07/31/2024 - Haiti Policy House announced a new partnership with the Centre de Techniques de Planification et d’Économie Appliquée (CTPEA) - Center for Planning Techniques and Applied Economics- to facilitate research, training, and collaboration.

CTPEA has trained students and senior executives in Haiti since 1983, offering specialization in statistics, planning, and applied economics. Over the past four decades, CTPEA has developed a network of experts who are leaders in public administration. 

Haiti Policy House, based in Washington, D.C., is a research institute dedicated to creating innovative and sustainable solutions to Haiti’s most significant challenges. Clifford Reginald Nau, a board member of Haiti Policy House, a proud Alum, and a Professor of Public Policy at CTPEA, expressed his support of the partnership, stating, “This partnership advances public policy thinking and economic policy solutions for Haiti.” On the part of the Director of the CTPEA, he supports the idea that “this partnership expresses the will of a whole group of citizens to address the main problems facing society, and the two institutions will inevitably be more present in the field of research.” 

As the first higher education institution to offer courses in public policy in Haiti, the partnership between CTPEA and Haiti Policy House, the first research institute run by Haitians and Haitian Americans focusing on critical issues affecting Haiti, is groundbreaking. Haiti Policy House would especially like to thank Mr. Hosval Tristan, Director of CTPEA for his leadership in supporting this new partnership.  

The CTPEA and Haiti Policy House partnership will focus on:  

• Jointly sharing data and research with the aim of improving the quality of research and public policy proposals;  

• Collaborating on training, internships, and other professional development opportunities;  

• Sharing, presenting, and amplifying publications from CTPEA and Haiti Policy House in order to inform public policy stakeholders, both in Haiti and globally.

Through collaboration, research, and dialogue, this strategic partnership reaffirms Haiti Policy House’s and CTPEA’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of Haitian experts. Wolf Pamphile, Founder and Executive Director of Haiti Policy House, comments that “through this partnership, we move forward with continuing to put Haiti and its people first.”
