In Haiti, thirty people from the communities of Gressier, La Victoire and Thomassique participated in an inter-community Forum on civic participation. The event, organised by Equitas partners in Haiti took place on February 28 and March 1 in Hinche. Participants discussed engaged citizenship and shared their experiences in this matter. They also explored collective actions that could be taken to reduce violence and increase the participation of marginalised persons in their communities. François Legault, from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development and Faidlyne Policard from the Canadian Embassy in Haiti joined the forum as observers.
