The Director General of the National Council of Cooperatives, Lesly Alexandre announced this Saturday, July 2, 2022, on the occasion of the International Day of Cooperatives, four major projects that aim, among other things, to deconcentrate the CNC while specifying that the institution is already present in eight departments of the country. Lesly Alexandre promises to establish, in 2023, two regional offices in the center and in the Grand’Anse.
This work also consists of encouraging cooperatives to finance national production through a partnership with the National Bank for Agricultural Development (BNDA). If the Haitian youth constitutes a potential of development, the CNC wants to take advantage of it through training sessions to encourage the increase of the penetration rates of the latter in the cooperative sector.
At the final stage, the CNC’s Director General intends to develop orientation and monitoring tools to geolocate cooperatives and also to establish an electronic directory.
The observation shows that the CNC does not lack ambitious projects to boost its program, but the challenges and resources needed to achieve them are significant, recognizes Lesly Alexandre who says he hopes that the institution will have a budget available to achieve the goals set.
-The phenomenon of insecurity affects the operation of some credit unions.
The director general of the National Council of Cooperatives, Lesly Alexandre, said that several credit unions have been robbed in the town of Carrefour. In addition to this, executives of several savings and credit unions have been victims of kidnapping followed by sequestration, said the head of the CNC who announced that steps are being taken to relocate all the credit unions that are located in high-risk areas in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince.
Lesly Alexandre raised these issues during the celebration of the international day of cooperatives around the theme “For a better world”.
The ceremony took place at the CNC in Turgeau and was attended by members, leaders of several associations and federations of credit unions including ANACAPH, the Lever and the Member.
