The Ministry of the Environment, through the Department of Water Resources (DRE), carried out at the Campus Henry Christophe de Limonade (North Dept.), its first Thematic Table on Water for the year 2023.

This meeting brought together several stakeholders, including the National Directorate of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DINEPA), researchers interested in the theme of water and members of civil society organizations in the far north.

This first Thematic Table on Water is a structure that aims to mobilize the various actors at the national level and create a space for dialogue around the issue of water. It is also a mechanism for mobilizing funds that can facilitate reasonable and equitable management and use of water resources, while increasing its availability in the fifteen watersheds targeted in the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan of Haiti.
