Overview

The L’Ouverture Economic Development Plan for Haiti Act of 2025 seeks to establish a Haitian American Enterprise Fund to support economic development in Haiti. The bill aims to foster private sector growth, particularly in industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism, while also promoting good governance and reducing irregular migration. It highlights the historical relationship between the U.S. and Haiti and leverages the contributions of the Haitian diaspora. The fund would be overseen by an Oversight Panel and authorized to receive appropriations to support these initiatives.
