Anand announces $35M to boost Caribbean security, tackle Haiti’s gang crisis
Most of the money will support Haiti’s police and anti-gang efforts, while smaller amounts will aid Jamaica’s hurricane recovery and Colombia’s peace process.
- On Tuesday, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announced $35 million in new funding to bolster security and curb violence across the Caribbean, specifically targeting Haiti's ongoing gang crisis.
- Armed gangs have controlled much of Haiti since 2021, disrupting critical infrastructure and food production while creating a humanitarian crisis that pressures Washington to manage asylum surges.
- The $35 million investment includes $7.5 million for the Haitian National Police to combat gangs, $6.8 million to improve regional drug trafficking policing, and $10 million for a new drug trafficking task force.
- While attending Organization of American States meetings in Panama, Anand also confirmed Canada ratified a 1994 convention on gender-based violence, setting obligations for preventing and punishing violence against women.
- Canada also continues advocating for better climate change financing for Caribbean states hit by severe weather, while simultaneously trying to secure a trade deal with the Mercosur bloc.
