Haitian TPS — Contingency Protocol

The potential loss of Temporary Protected Status could lead to the large-scale return of thousands of Haitians to a country whose capacity for reception, employment, and reintegration is already severely limited.

This publication by Collectif 2035 presents an institutional preparedness protocol designed to help Haitian authorities, diaspora organizations, international partners, and financial institutions anticipate this possibility.

The document goes beyond a humanitarian response. It offers an operational framework focused on institutional coordination, recognition of professional qualifications, economic integration, and sustainable reintegration.

The protocol highlights:

• four phases of preparedness and intervention;

• the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders;

• recognition of diplomas, licenses, and professional skills;

• the needs of workers in healthcare, construction, logistics, agriculture, and service industries;

• the economic mechanisms required to support reintegration;

• the importance of coordinated action among Haiti, the diaspora, and international partners.

The report also emphasizes that workers outside the healthcare sector will require tailored economic solutions, including access to employment, financing, and microcredit.

No single institution can manage an operation of this scale alone. Each stakeholder must act within a clearly defined timeframe, according to its responsibilities, resources, and capacity.
