Programme Summary

This information agency was created at the end of 2001 by the Groupe Medialternatif, an association of mass communication professionals and other associated disciplines aimed at promoting the creation and dynamics of alternative communication and information. Its main object is to extend and guarantee the right to information.

Communication Strategies

The AlterPresse site is a source of information on political, economic, social, and cultural processes, and on the role-players involved in these processes: social movements, community associations, promotion and defense of human rights organisms, development organisations, research and non-formal educational institutions, universities, etc.


It also plays a role in circulating information among Haitians abroad (over 2 million citizens constituting one fourth of the total national population) and the Haitians living in their own country.


The agency is particularly interested in gender equity, female leadership, local participation, supportive economy, proper technologies, food assurance, sustainable agriculture, environmental protection, traditional medicine, children's rights, responsible paternity, and alternative and popular communication.

Development Issues

Rights, Women, Children, Environment, Sustainable Agriculture, and Health Care.
