Citizen Monitoring
The Objectives of the “Sitwayen ap swiv `ed la- Citizens Monitoring the Aid,” is to;

1) Empower Haitian citizens through information by making them aware of what is happening with foreign aid so that they can hold officials and providers accountable.
2) Encourage Haitian citizens to be engaged with Haiti Aid Watchdog (Aid) in monitoring the management and impact of international assistance to Haiti.
3) Offer a platform for constructive dialogue between service providers (non-governmental organizations) and the beneficiaries who are mainly concentrated in internally displaced person (IDP) camps in and outside of Port-au-Prince.
4) Allow international organizations as service providers to promote transparency by informing the public about their accomplishments, set backs and plans to better serve their public.
5) Provide the voiceless an opportunity to ask direct questions and get direct information through partners, providers and the government.
6) Encourage Haitian media to join civil society organizations in an effort to track the impact of the aid while promoting transparency and accountability.
7) Encourage the providers and the government, through radio and television talk-show formats, to share information on the humanitarian and reconstruction efforts.
8) Promote transparency and accountability while encouraging noticeable efforts and accomplishments.

About 15 members of the press were present at the round table. The activity lasted 2 hours.
