Our Strategy

The UN Integrated Strategic Framework (ISF) for Haiti articulates the joint strategy of MINUSTAH and the UN Country Team in support of the Government’s stability and reconstruction efforts. Based on a shared vision of the UN’s role in Haiti and its comparative advantage, the ISF identifies the strategic objectives and the expected results that the UN will collectively achieve by December 2016 in full alignment with the Government’s Strategic Development Plan.
