This week’s Haiti Signal looks at the unanswered request before the Kenscoff attack, new election filing arrangements, the nutrition forecast for Cité Soleil and Cabaret, and food prices that kept rising in July.

Haiti’s operating map is changing.

The attack in Kenscoff has altered assumptions about movement and protection around the capital. Cap-Haïtien International Airport is handling roughly three times its previous passenger volume, increasing the North’s role in national travel and business continuity.

Nearly 200,000 people were forcibly returned to Haiti during the first eight months of 2026, creating pressures that will extend into local services, labor markets and receiving communities. Election preparations are also advancing across communes with sharply different levels of administrative access, mobility and institutional capacity.

Together, these developments show how people, responsibilities and economic activity are shifting toward places able to absorb them, often faster than infrastructure and institutions can adjust.

For organizations operating in Haiti, national plans increasingly require current, location-specific intelligence about the routes, communities and systems their work depends on.

The new issue of The Haiti Signal examines Haiti’s changing operating geography and what organizations should carry into September.

For organizations working in Haiti, the question is no longer only what has been announced. Never more so than now, what matters is what is actually being delivered, where implementation is failing, and who is being left out.
That is where research and strategy must now focus.

Kenscoff is a warning about the limits of planning around national announcements alone.

Dozens of people were killed, homes were burned, and families were displaced. Elections, return programs, investment, and public services all depend on whether people can move safely and institutions can reach communities.

Le projet HA-T1360 de la Banque interaméricaine de développement accompagne le Gouvernement haïtien dans la mise en place d’un cadre juridique, réglementaire, institutionnel et opérationnel pour la signature électronique.

Nous avons analysé ce projet à partir d’une question simple : qu’est-ce qui permettra de savoir qu’une signature électronique fonctionne réellement dans le quotidien d’une institution haïtienne ?

Kiyès ki lidè w?

[Jonathan Morency @JoMorency]

Les Haïtiens retournent aux urnes bientôt. Beaucoup vont devoir choisir leurs prochains dirigeants sans avoir un endroit simple pour vérifier qui exerce déjà le pouvoir.

Depuis quelques mois, je travaille sur « Kiyès ki lidè w?”, un répertoire civique qui permet à chaque citoyen de comprendre le rôle d’un responsable public, puis de lui attribuer une note selon le travail accompli. Chaque fiche documente son mandat à partir de sources vérifiables, accessibles gratuitement depuis un téléphone.

Un peu sur moi: J’ai une spécialisation en communication politique, puis j’ai consacré une grande partie de mon travail à construire des outils numériques et à penser leur design. Ces deux dimensions restaient assez séparées dans ce que je partageais publiquement. Avec ce projet, elles se rencontrent enfin autour d’une question qui me suit depuis longtemps : comment le numérique peut-il donner plus de pouvoir aux citoyens haïtiens et les aider à faire des choix politiques mieux informés ?

Une première version est déjà en ligne. Je continue de la peaufiner avant sa sortie publique dans quelques semaines, avec l’idée de rendre l’information politique plus claire, plus accessible et plus facile à vérifier.

Le répertoire est indépendant des partis. Il est conçu pour les électeurs, parce qu’en démocratie, chacun devrait pouvoir savoir qui le dirige avant de décider à qui confier la suite.

D’autres projets suivront dans les prochains mois, à la rencontre du numérique et de la démocratie en Haïti, et j’aurai besoin de ton aide.

Je continuerai à partager plus sur leur construction, les choix derrière chaque outil et ce que j’apprends en chemin.

Le nouveau réseau de Google arrive sur Hispaniola. Haïti devrait préparer sa connexion. Mais les questions deviennent concrètes : par où notre trafic passera-t-il, qui pourra accéder à ces nouvelles capacités, combien coûtera cette connexion et combien de temps faudra-t-il pour rétablir le service lorsqu’une route est bloquée ?

I’ve tried voice assistants before, but the new ChatGPT voice feels different. It’s the first one that genuinely made me want to keep talking. I wrote down what I really think about it. https://t.co/mYrDkTHjGn

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.
