Programme Summary

The Haiti Support Group is a solidarity group based in the United Kingdom; this Group has focused on developing contacts with grassroots and popular organisations in Haiti to provide them support.

Communication Strategies

The Haiti Support Group monitors developments in Haiti and disseminates information and advice to a wide range of individuals and organisations in both the UK and in Haiti about the issues and context of the unfolding situation.

Every two months, the Haiti Support Group publishes a four-page newsletter - Haiti Briefing - containing news, analysis, reviews, and photos. It also organises public meetings and carries out campaigns to advocate for actions in favor of Haitian rights:

  • campaign for trade union rights, salary increases, and improvement of work conditions of Grand Marnier and Cointreau workers in Haiti
  • campaign for the payment of Haiti's external debt
  • campaign for the return of 160,000 documents (consisting of documents and photos of victims of human rights violations and their torturers), as well as videos and recordings stolen in 1994 from the Haitian military forces (FADH) and paramilitary forces (FRAPH) by North American troops.

Development Issues
