    La Présentation de la Nouvelle Plateforme Numérique pour Régulariser les Agents Contractuels, un Fiasco Annoncé sans Éducation et Centralisation

    L’État haïtien se lance avec ferveur dans un projet de modernisation de ses outils administratifs, avec l’introduction d’une plateforme numérique dédiée à la gestion des agents contractuels. Une initiative ambitieuse, certes, mais qui semble ignorer une vérité pourtant évidente : sans une base solide d’éducation numérique, sans centralisation des institutions, et sans une vision globale, ces efforts risquent de se heurter au même mur que les précédents projets cosmétiques de l’État.

    Un État déconnecté de sa réalité

    Présentée avec éclat à l’Hôtel Caribe, cette nouvelle plateforme s’appuie sur des technologies que beaucoup d’agents contractuels de l’État haïtien ne maîtrisent tout simplement pas. Demander à des employés, dont la plupart ne possèdent même pas d’adresse email, de s’inscrire sur une plateforme numérique, c’est un peu comme leur demander de piloter un avion sans les former au préalable. Une déconnexion totale entre les ambitions numériques de l’État et les réalités quotidiennes de ses employés.

    Pire encore, la plateforme se heurte à des problèmes techniques majeurs, notamment des connexions défaillantes avec le serveur de l’Office National d’Identification (ONI), rendant impossible toute avancée dans le processus d’inscription. Un écueil déjà constaté avec le système Delidoc, mais que l’État semble n’avoir ni anticipé ni résolu. À cela s’ajoute l’incapacité de la plateforme à géolocaliser correctement les utilisateurs, une faille exacerbée par l’utilisation de VPN. Pourquoi ne pas avoir opté pour un système biométrique, plus sûr et plus adapté à notre contexte ? Là encore, l’incompréhension règne.

    Les projets cosmétiques de l’État, une histoire d’échecs répétés

    Ce nouveau projet, comme tant d’autres avant lui, risque de suivre le même chemin que les précédentes initiatives de l’État visant à l’informatisation de l’administration publique : l’abandon. Trop souvent, les projets cosmétiques qui ne s’attaquent pas de manière globale aux problèmes structurels de l’administration haïtienne finissent par être relégués aux oubliettes. L’histoire récente regorge d’exemples de projets ambitieux, mais mal conçus ou mal exécutés, qui n’ont jamais abouti. Ces échecs répétés devraient inciter à la prudence et à une meilleure planification avant de lancer de telles initiatives.

    L’éducation numérique, une urgence oubliée

    Mais au-delà de ces défis techniques et structurels, c’est l’absence d’éducation numérique qui transforme cette belle initiative en un potentiel fiasco. Comment justifier un projet de cette envergure sans préparer le terrain, sans s’assurer que chaque agent est capable d’utiliser les outils numériques nécessaires ? L’État aurait dû commencer par une vaste campagne d’éducation numérique, accessible à tous, pour doter ses employés des compétences indispensables à cette transition.

    Les plus optimistes diront que ce projet est encore en phase de déploiement, que des ajustements seront faits. Mais le fait est que l’État haïtien s’apprête également à étendre cette plateforme aux employés réguliers de l’administration publique, sans avoir résolu les problèmes actuels. Un pas vers l’échec assuré si rien n’est fait pour éduquer et former ces futurs utilisateurs.

    La centralisation des institutions : une nécessité absolue

    Au-delà de l’éducation numérique, une autre lacune majeure de cette initiative réside dans l’absence de centralisation des institutions étatiques. Pour que cette plateforme soit véritablement efficace, il est impératif de centraliser toutes les institutions étatiques, telles que l’Électricité d’Haïti (EDH), la Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI), les services de passeports, ainsi que les infrastructures aéroportuaires. Cette centralisation permettrait une gestion intégrée et cohérente des données, facilitant ainsi les processus administratifs et renforçant la transparence au sein de l’État.

    En regroupant ces institutions sous une même plateforme, l’État haïtien pourrait non seulement améliorer l’efficacité de ses services, mais aussi réduire les redondances et les incohérences qui caractérisent actuellement le système. Cette centralisation offrirait également une vue d’ensemble claire et précise des opérations de l’État, permettant ainsi une meilleure planification et une gestion plus rigoureuse des ressources.

    Apprendre des modèles internationaux : le rôle clé des universités

    Dans les pays développés, les projets de développement les plus ambitieux et les plus réussis prennent souvent racine au sein des universités publiques. Ces institutions, véritables incubateurs d’innovation, jouent un rôle central dans la conception et la mise en œuvre de solutions technologiques avancées. Les États collaborent étroitement avec ces universités pour s’assurer que les projets ne sont pas seulement techniquement viables, mais aussi adaptés aux besoins réels de la population.

    Il est temps que l’État haïtien s’inspire de ces modèles et s’associe avec ses propres institutions académiques pour développer des solutions adaptées à son contexte. Les universités haïtiennes, si elles sont correctement soutenues et financées, pourraient devenir des moteurs de développement technologique, fournissant à l’État les outils nécessaires pour réussir sa transition numérique.

    Des solutions existent, mais le temps presse

    Les solutions pour éviter ce naufrage numérique existent, et elles sont à portée de main. Il est impératif de lancer immédiatement une campagne massive d’éducation numérique pour tous les employés de l’État. Cela inclut non seulement l’apprentissage des bases, comme la création et l’utilisation d’une adresse email, mais aussi une formation plus approfondie sur l’utilisation de la plateforme elle-même.

    De plus, l’État doit sérieusement envisager l’adoption d’un système biométrique pour pallier les insuffisances actuelles, notamment en matière de géolocalisation et de sécurité des données. Améliorer l’infrastructure réseau pour garantir une connexion stable et fiable est tout aussi crucial. Enfin, des points d’enregistrement physique doivent être mis en place pour accompagner les agents dans leur inscription et leur utilisation de la plateforme.

    Une modernisation à repenser

    L’intention de moderniser l’administration publique haïtienne est louable, mais elle doit s’accompagner d’une stratégie réaliste et inclusive. Ce n’est qu’en dotant ses employés des compétences numériques nécessaires et en centralisant les institutions clés que l’État pourra véritablement réussir sa transformation. À l’heure actuelle, cette plateforme numérique risque de devenir un symbole d’échec plutôt qu’une réussite. Il est encore temps de redresser la barre, mais cela nécessitera un engagement fort en faveur de l’éducation numérique, de la centralisation des institutions, et de la collaboration avec les universités. L’avenir de la gouvernance en Haïti en dépend.

    A remarkable passage of play followed- Tim Seifert was dropped twice on his way to scoring 64 off 27 balls before Bhanuka Rajapaska (68* off 35) and David Wiese (34* off 20) beat the fielders and cleared the ropes with aplomb to knock off the runs with relative ease.

    The rain fell at Warner Park but it wasn’t heavy or sustained enough to come to Patriots rescue, all of their bowlers shipped heavy runs apart from Nortje who finished with 2-29 from his four overs. Team captain Andre Fletcher intimated that his side need to improve in order to challenge in the competition.

    “As a fielding unit, we are not helping the bowlers.” Fletcher said after the match. “We can’t be dropping catches and expect to win matches against powerful batting line-ups. Catches win matches and we have to do that, and buck up on our fielding.”

    It was a bittersweet evening for Kyle Mayers, who picked up the Player-of-the-Match award for his sublime century. “It was a good day for me but the team did not cross the line, so it is still sad. The difference between us and them was that they executed in the back end and the rain also kept our spinners out of the game.”

    It is a confident start to the 2024 campaign by St .Lucia Kings who chalk up victory in their first outing, but plenty to ponder for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots with just one win from three matches so far. (CPL)

  • Major cocaine haul: Authorities consider foreign links in Region One operation

    Major cocaine haul: Authorities consider foreign links in Region One operation

     

    Home Affairs Minister Robeson Benn has said that should more forest people and others cooperate with drug fighting authorities, crime fighting could be enhanced. “The people who live in the forest can join up in this fight, because this is a fight for everyone,” he told reporters on the scene.

    This is one of the many operations that was conducted over the past five months identifying illegal airstrips within the country and monitoring them. In this case, CANU believes it was lucky to strike at the right time; to seize the drugs before they were moved to another location.

    Further, the team believes it was not just successful in seizing the drugs, but in detecting a new concealment method and gives an idea as to how big the network is.

    The airstrip in question is illegal and said to be built to accommodate small aircrafts bringing several kilos of cocaine from outside of Guyana.

    After samples are taken, the cocaine will be burnt.

    CANU stated: “This seizure highlights the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) and the Government’s unwavering commitment to combating the narcotics trade in Guyana and collaborating with international partners. The Government of Guyana is making significant strides to equip the Joint Services with the necessary tools to combat drug trafficking and other illicit activities within the country. Recent investments in the GDF Coast Guard, Air Corps, and the Guyana Police to enhance monitoring of border regions underscore this dedication.”

    It added: “This seizure also demonstrates the confidence that the Guyanese Government,
    international agencies, and Joint Services have in CANU’s ability to fulfill its mandate.
    CANU has been leading Guyana’s anti-narcotics efforts, resulting in previous seizures
    of aircraft, and semi-submersibles, and the arrests of high-profile drug traffickers.”

    BREAKING: CANU dismantles massive drug operation in hinterland

    Since coming to office in August 2020, the PPP/C government has injected heavily in furnishing the Joint Services with the necessary equipment.

    The administration has also worked on developing partnerships with various international law enforcement agencies to ensure that Guyana does not become a haven for drug trafficking organisations who are bent on using Guyana as a trans-shipment point.

    In this regard, significant investments have been made in Guyana Defence Force Coast Guard and Air Corp, as well as the Guyana Police Force to safeguard the country’s border regions.

    Importantly, this latest seizure is another example of the confidence the government and other international agencies have in CANU and the Joint Services of Guyana.

    CANU has been at the forefront of Guyana’s anti-narcotics fight, which has resulted in past seizures of aircraft, semi-submersible vessels and arrests of high-profile drug traffickers.

    Investigations into the Region One bust are ongoing.

  • Italian GP: Leclerc beats Piastri and Norris for Ferrari home win

    Italian GP: Leclerc beats Piastri and Norris for Ferrari home win

    After locking out the front row of the grid, McLaren looked on course for a one-two for half the race, with Piastri leading Norris after the Australian passed the Briton around the outside of the second chicane on the first lap.

    Piastri’s fair but aggressive move ended with Norris slipping down to third in the first stint of the race as Leclerc was also able to slip by into second on the exit of the corner.

    After trailing Piastri and Leclerc through the first stint, Norris made his pit stop first, in an attempt to undercut his way by Leclerc, who responded on the following lap.

    Ferrari pitted on the next lap but McLaren’s strategy worked, vaulting Norris ahead of Leclerc, who initially complained on the radio.

    McLaren pitted Piastri to ensure he kept the lead, following their team rules of being fair to both drivers, and the race now seemed to be a fight for victory between the two McLarens.

    But Norris began to struggle with tyre wear, slowly dropping back to five seconds behind Piastri and had to make a second pit stop on lap 32, with 21 to go, Piastri following him six laps later to ensure he stayed ahead again.

    That left Leclerc leading his team-mate Carlos Sainz by just over 10 seconds with Piastri chasing both down, and Ferrari decided to chance their arm.

    They knew a one-stop option would be difficult, especially with such an early first stop, but both drivers pulled it off.

    But, while Sainz dropped back to fourth behind the two McLarens, Leclerc’s lead was enough to keep him in front, to take one of the most stunning and unlikely victories of the year.

    The crowd cheered him across the line as he took his second Monza victory for Ferrari, after his first in 2019.

    “An incredible feeling,” Leclerc said. “I thought the first time would feel like this and the second time, if there was one, wouldn’t feel as special.

    “But my god, the emotions in the final laps – just like 2019. Incredible.

    “Monaco and Monza are the two races I want to win every year.

    “Obviously I want to win as many as possible, and the world championship as soon as possible, but these are the two most special and I have managed to win them this year. It is so, so special.” (BBC)

  • Boxing’s Olympic future takes major blow following vote in Dubai

    Boxing’s Olympic future takes major blow following vote in Dubai

    The future of boxing as an Olympic sport has suffered a major setback.

    The Asian Boxing Confederation voted 21-14 not to join World Boxing at an extraordinary congress in Dubai on Saturday.

    While 19 delegates subsequently supported a motion from the floor to become ‘independent’ and deal directly with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the legality of this motion is in doubt.

    The Asian Boxing Confederation’s Board of Directors had recommended to members to support cutting ties with the International Boxing Association (IBA) and link up with World Boxing, which is aiming to secure recognition as the international federation for boxing.

    Boxing has been left off the programme for the Los Angeles Games in 2028 by the IOC who ran the tournament at the Paris and Tokyo Games following the suspension, and ultimately the derecognition of, the Russian-led IBA.

    The IBA are appealing this IOC decision in a court in Switzerland, having lost their initial appeal to the Court for Arbitration in Sport.

    The IOC have stated if they can partner with a new credible organisation, boxing will be restored to the programme for the LA Games, despite all the negative publicity the sport endured because of the gender row and the inconsistent judging and refereeing during the Paris Games.

    Forty-two countries have left the IBA and joined World Boxing, including eight countries from Asia, among them India, Taiwan and South Korea.

    Asian countries dominated boxing at the Paris Games, with Uzbekistan topping the medals’ table with five gold in the men’s competition. China finished second with three gold and two silver in women’s boxing.

    Politically both are closer to Russia than the United States and western Europe, which is at the forefront of the movement to establish World Boxing, as are other national federations in Asia.

    So, it wasn’t a surprise they voted not to leave the IBA, but the margin was.

    The president of the Olympic Federation of Ireland, Sarah Keane, revealed during the Paris Games that the OFI will be withdrawing recognition of the Irish Athletic Boxing Association if they remain as members of the IBA.

    The vote in Dubai is a stunning blow to World Boxing and could lead to the IOC having second thoughts about recognising them, which in turn puts paid to the chances of the sport being restored to the LA Games.

    Predictably, the IBA welcomed the decision. A statement read: “It reflects the years of IBA’s hard work invested in boxing development worldwide and true unity of the IBA Boxing Family.

    “Pluralism of opinions means true democracy, and the IBA appreciates the variety of views from National Federations. However, the majority decides, and IBA supports the decision taken.” (Irish Independent)
