1.3 Background

Haiti established the Haitian National Police (HNP) in 1995 with the assistance of the United Nations, the United States, and other international partners. The HNP is the sole law enforcement agency responsible for providing security within Haiti. The United States has supported the HNP since its creation by providing training, equipment, mentoring, and infrastructure support. Since 1995, the HNP has grown in size, professionalism, and capacity to become one of Haiti's most trusted and respected institutions. However, the HNP is still underfunded, underequipped, and understaffed for its mission and must continue to strengthen itsinstitutional capacity to address significant threats from organized crime, narcotics trafficking, corruption, civil unrest, and increase of public trust, damaged due to the involvement of some HNP agents in gang operations.

UN Security Council Resolution 2476 of June 25, 2019, authorized the creation of BINUH, which opened on October 16, 2019. BINUH's mandate is to “advise the Government of Haiti in promoting and strengthening political stability and good governance, including the rule of law, preserving and advancing a peaceful and stable environment, including through supporting an inclusive inter-Haitian national dialogue, and protecting and promoting human rights. This also includes assistance to the Government of Haiti with its efforts to reinforce the capacity of the Haitian National Police (HNP), including through training on human rights and crowd control, to respond to gang violence and sexual and gender-based violence, and to maintain public order,” among other tasks.

Candidates put forward by the contractor will be reviewed and approved by the COR, with INL Haiti concurrence.

For example, in a project requiring specialized subject matter experts (SMEs) to meet mission objectives, cutting costs by hiring less experienced staff could result in reduced performance quality. On the other hand, striving for high-performance standards or enhanced capabilities might lead to increased costs, possibly exceeding budgetary limits. If this tradeoff is not carefully managed, it can result in financial overruns, necessitating adjustments to other aspects of the project, such as extending the schedule or reducing scope.
