Le Ministère de l’Intérieur et des Collectivités Territoriales (MICT) a clôturé, le 14 novembre 2025, le Forum national des Délégués, Vice-Délégués et Secrétaires généraux, organisé autour du thème : « Pilotage de l’action gouvernementale dans les territoires en temps de crise « . Pendant trois jours, les représentants départementaux ont été formés, outillés et entendus sur les obstacles entravant l’exécution efficace de leur mission, dans un contexte de crises sécuritaire, institutionnelle et socio-économique.
Held at the Karibe Hotel, the Forum brought together several senior government officials, including the Minister of the Interior, Paul Antoine Bien-Aimé, Prime Minister Axène Joseph's Chief of Staff, as well as representatives of OMHR, Civil Protection and the Local Governance and Territorial Development Support Project (AGLTD). The central objective is to strengthen the competence of delegates for more effective representation of the executive in departments and districts.
During the workshops, participants benefited from technical expertise and experience sharing provided by experienced public administration executives. They also exposed the structural difficulties they face: lack of resources, increasing insecurity and weak authority. These constraints, they say, seriously hamper their ability to lead government action on the ground.
The MICT welcomed the commitment, active participation and sense of duty of delegates and vice-delegates, ensuring that the grievances raised would be addressed. The Ministry is committed to continuing institutional strengthening efforts, in collaboration with the MEF and the Prime Minister's Office, in order to modernize the working conditions of deconcentrated State structures.
At the closing, Minister Beloved recalled the crucial role of delegates in the administrative deconcentration, the fight against insecurity and the support of electoral institutions for the upcoming elections. For his part, Axène Joseph stressed the strategic importance of these territorial representatives for the stability of local governance, welcoming the success of this initiative, supported by UNDP.
