Opportunities in Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Challenge CAVDHA 26 seeks innovative project ideas that strengthen local governance and community development in Haiti. Five finalists will present to a jury on 16 October during the CAVDHA conference, with public-vote video input and winners announced on 18 October. The official page lists a 250,000 HTG prize and one SIPDEC seminar per member. It does not state whether the 250,000 HTG amount is distributed across multiple winners, so no further allocation is inferred.

Applicants must be Haitian nationals aged 18–40, be students or graduates of a university in Haiti, be born in or resident of the commune where the project would be implemented, and participate as a two-person team. The document checklist also requests proof of current university enrollment, which may require graduates to clarify eligibility with the organizer.
