Aware of the extreme vulnerability of Haiti to natural hazards due to environmental degradation and lack of control of rural and urban space, the firm A-Z techno plus organized this Friday, July 22, 2022, a forum on environmental resilience and multisectoral responsibility in collaboration with local and departmental technical agencies (ATLD).
The members of the firm A-Z techno Plus met this Friday, July 22, at the Hotel La Cretonne in the city of Les Cayes to discuss with representatives of communities in the deep south about environmental resilience and strategies that should be adopted to reduce the risk of disasters for the benefit of vulnerable populations and communities in the region.
Discussions were held with personalities including the head of a resilience program in the south, Abel Joseph, and organizations specialized in the field as well as state institutions such as expertise France, PAGODE and the departmental direction of Grand’Anse for the Superior Court of Accounts and Administrative Litigation (CSCCA) which analyze point by point the mechanisms that should help strengthen environmental resilience through the establishment of a warning system, coordination of relief, and awareness of the population. And to better coordinate responses to disasters, members of local governments must have in their baggage appropriate methods, argue the speakers to explain the rationale for holding this forum.
Participants in this gathering around the environmental resilience have given great importance since it took place in the city of Cayes hit in August 2021 by an earthquake that killed more than 1,000 people and injured nearly 5,700, leaving also thousands of people homeless in the southwest of the country.
This major forum organized by the firm A-Z Techno Plus is necessary to support local communities in the south, Grand’Anse and Nippes so that they can cope with the hazards and counteract or limit the effects before they occur.
On the sidelines of this activity supported by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Vaero Distribution and the University CDTAP and Polytechnic, officials of the firm A-Z techno Plus Consulting have handed over school bags to local departmental technical agency (ATLD) a few weeks before the start of the school year scheduled for September 5, 2022. A local church is also among the recipients.
