The United Nations envoy for Haiti yesterday welcomed recent strides towards restoring democracy amid alarming levels of violence, while the country's interim prime minister emphasised that the people continue to fight for a better future.
Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Haiti, Maria Isabel Salvador, said the installation of the Transitional Presidential Council in April and the swearing-in of an interim prime minister and new government in June are clear indications of progress.
She commended the efforts of the transitional authorities to increase the participation of women and other minorities in key positions in government, with six of the 18 ministries now headed by women, representing 33 percent of all ministries.
