FRED
Fondation pour la réhabilitation et le dévelopement
The FOUNDATION FOR THE REHABILITATION AND DEVELOPMENT also known as FRED, in its concern to improve the quality of life for the population of Petit-Goâve has submitted to the Mayor a draft of a five-year plan for revitalization and development of the town of Petit-Goâve and his surrounding districts. The City Council, in its correspondence dated 24 December 2007, gave its full support to this project and recommended it to any institution wishing to make a contribution to its realization. The city Council endorsed the draft and delegates to the FRED the delicate and important mission to actively pursue activities aimed at its implementation.
Therefore FRED has presented a five-year development Plan which outlines projects to be carried out during a 5 year period from 2008 to 2013. These two years correspond first of all to the 345th anniversary of the city and secondly to the 350th anniversary of Petit-Goâve (in 2013). FRED thinks these anniversaries represent opportunities to unite all people from Petit-Goâve and also from other area around this ambitious project that promote economics growth and poverty reduction.

The purpose of urban planning is to coordinate the development and creation of cities, within the framework of life for present and future inhabitants, as well as the necessary balance between population and facilities (public spaces, green spaces, networks drinking water, sanitation, public lighting, electricity, gas, communications networks
The town of Petit Goâve will offer a new image in 2013. Enormous sacrifices will be takend by the resident of Petit-Goâve, they will have to change their mentality, their behavior and attitudes to facilitate a coordinated development of the city. They must make tough decisions and repudiate their self-centered interest in favor of the community. The facades of some houses must be improved in accordance with the urban laws already developed and to be updated for the occasion. Some structures that maintain a permanent insalubrity in the city must be moved.
Short-term goal - Deadline (December 2010)
Human security in its broadest sense embraces far more than the absence of violent conflict. It encompasses human rights, good governance, access to education and health care, and ensuring that each individual has opportunities and choices to fulfil his or her own potential Freedom.
We will help the local Government to strengthen the capacity of the police and the judiciary System in Petit-Goâve, in order to facilitate arrestation of suspected bandits and speed up procedures to achieve, within a reasonable time, to fair judicial decisions, reasoned and enforceable.

We will encourage the Communal Administration of Petit-Goâve to create the communal ID card

The specific mission of this offfice is to provide any investor all the information necessary and sufficient to realize his idea of project. Its primary objective is to achieve a reduction of transaction costs associated with investments while promoting great speed in execution of administrative procedures related to investment in Petit-Goâve. We will maintain transparant administrative processes that will reduce the length and the possibility for corruption within the governmental administration
The mobility of people and goods is an essential condition for economic development. In the case of metropolitan areas, the ability of individuals to move to places of employment is crucial. Transport infrastructure allows efficient firms to expand their pool of workers and consumers. Public transport is a efficient way of moving in terms of the number of passengers. In addition it is the effective way to avoid the inflationary impact of fuel cost in this perspective, therefore we envision to:
1.Construction of a New City Hall and Launch a Local Government institutional Reinforcement Program
2.Promote a new relation between the communal Administration and the resident of Petit-Goâve where citizens will be asked to voluntarily participate in commissions and committees. It is necessary to have such democratic process in the Communal administration, where citizen have their say in all part of the development of the city and can also participate actively in the discussions which will leave an imprint on the future of the city.
3.Create conditions to develop skills where local citizens committees can acquire basic knowledge of community organization in order to fight poverty and social exclusion.
4.Strengthening education by building a new Public Library.
5.Construction of social housing (HLM models in France) to accommodate families with low income or those displaced by urban development projects
Agricultural and industrial development should meet the future demand of tourism infrastructure. This agricultural development is planned to meet the food needs of the city and to locations in hotels and restaurants. There we will conduct these activitie:
a) Promote Agricultural Policy for a culture that respects the environment with the use of natural fertilizers and non-chemical

Young People from Petit-Goâve will be the custodian of all cultural heritages surrounding these activities.

Long-term Goals
Long-term Goal

The park should also encourage the implementation of sustainable development practices in the districts of the peripheral zone of the city of Petit-Goâve

Our motto through this project is to create added value for the Haitian university community, which by its primary mission of training and research, by his intellectual illumination and its cultural influence, will provide the youth scientific concepts and approaches that will enable them to generate a secure and strong path to the future. We must understand and accept that a strong university community open on the changes occurred in the scientific world, but well integrated into Haitian society is the only way to prepare Young Haitian to cope with global competition.

Petit Goâve (Haitian Creole: Tigwav) is a coastal town in Ouest Department, Haïti. It is located at around some 68 km south of Port-au-Prince. The town has a population of approximately 12,000 inhabitants.
The town is one of the oldest cities of the country, and was named Goâve by the Amerindians. The Spanish called it Aguava at the end of the 16th century. After French colonization through the releasing of the Spanish, the French divided the city into two halves; Grand-Goâve and Petit-Goâve. The latter became a wealthy settlement in the western half of Hispaniola and briefly became the "pre-capital" of the prosperous colony of Saint-Domingue.
The town has the administrative and financial autonomy. Each Commune of the Republic is administered by a Board of three (3) members elected by universal suffrage, called the City Council.
The Chairman of the Council bears the title of Mayor. He is assisted by Deputy Mayor.
The Municipal Council is assisted in his task of a Municipal Assembly formed including a representative of each of its districts.
The mandate of the City Council is four (4) years and its members are re-elected indefinitely.
