As part of the capacity building process for Haitian refrigeration technicians according to the Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) Elimination Management Plan (PGEH), the Ministry of the Environment via the National Ozone Office (BNO) in collaboration with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in the city of Les Cayes, a 3-day training session for about thirty refrigeration technicians from the South department to bring them to experience good practices in air conditioning and refrigeration and the use of new cold technologies.

Ms. Marie Lourdes MAURA, Assistant Director of the National Ozone Office, thanked the UNDP for providing the Ministry with a consultant, Ms. Esther JOJITE, to facilitate these three days of training.

Let's recall that Haiti signed the Montreal Protocol in March 2000 and undertook to reduce its import of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) by 50% in 2005 and 85% in 2007 and to prohibit any import of ODS in 2010, establish the import license and set import quotas.

Learn more about the BNO :
In July 2003, the Ministry of the Environment created the National Ozone Office (BNO) with the mission, among other things, of managing activities relating to the application of the Montreal Protocol, also ensuring the recovery and recycling of ODS and training of technicians on refrigeration management and customs officers in order to combat the illegal trade of ODS.
