A PEASANT FROM THE SOUTH OF HAITI HAS BEEN AWARDED A PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL PRIZE.

Jean-marie claude germain, the minister of the environment, and peter de clercq, the resident representative in haiti of the united nations development programme (undp), officially presented the “equator prize” to “mouvman peyizan 3e seksyon kanperen” (mp3k) yam producers, represented by its coordinator chavannes casséus, in recognition of the outstanding contribution of this peasants movement for the The “equator prize” is a collaboration that promotes local sustainable development solutions for people, the environment, and resilient communities. It is comprised of the United Nations, as well as governments, civil society, corporations, and grassroots groups. Since 2002, this cooperation has bestowed the illustrious “equator prize” to a total of 187 local and indigenous communities located all over the globe. Among the 1,234 nominees from 121 countries, the mp3k initiative is one of the 34 initiatives that were honored for their commitment to enhancing the quality of life for people and the environment. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Germain, claimed in his comments for the event that “The award is a testament to the quantity and quality of work done by our nation’s farmers and environmental watchdogs in far-flung parts of the country […] By awarding this Award, we want to recognize the steadfast efforts that Haitian farmers and other environmental defenders have put out over the years. By recognizing and praising mp3k, we want to encourage all of Haiti’s departments to follow its lead and work toward the common goal of protecting their people from the worst effects of climate change.” Peter de Clercq, for his part, has expressed his satisfaction at the fact that an organization which received funding from the development agency was able to win this prize “With the help of this prize, Haitian farmers are sending a strong message that they are able to contribute to the food self-sufficiency of their country, provided that the government provides them with the necessary support. Because true development in Haiti is not possible without a genuine strengthening of the agriculture sector in all of its elements, this reward is meant to urge us at the UNDP level to help Haitian farmers and producers even more.” I am thrilled to announce that mp3k has received this prestigious international award. chavannes casséus said that he felt even more compelled to strive for the improvement of the country’s overall productivity. According to him, this award acknowledges years of dedication in a field that is not particularly well understood and much less “We have maintained our connection to the ground because we are certain that it is possible for the independence of our nation to originate from the soil itself. an organization of the caliber of the UNDP comprehended our job. a result of this, we are urging all agricultural laborers in Haiti to keep going since they will eventually be compensated for their efforts. I would want to point out to investors that the agricultural potential of Haiti is unfathomable, and that local farmers are only awaiting their commitment.” Check out more recent news from Haiti on the website haitianhollywood.com.
