The General Directorate of Budget (DGB) outlined the primary objectives to be achieved through the revised budget for 2023-2024, which was approved by the Council of Ministers last week. These objectives include strengthening security, supporting vulnerable populations—particularly women and children—through social programs, creating jobs, initiating measures to revive economic activities, promoting good governance, combating corruption, and launching activities related to establishing the electoral process. The total amount for the revised budget is 254.8 billion gourdes, representing a 20.5% reduction from the initial allocation of 320.5 billion gourdes.

While the government plans to introduce a new budget at the start of the next fiscal year (2024-2025), the revised budget is set to be implemented by September 30, 2024. During this period, the government aims to execute a series of rapid-impact actions under the Multisectoral Emergency Program for the Stabilization and Reintegration of Vulnerable Groups (PUMARSGV). "The implementation of these actions ensures continuity in the support plan for internally displaced persons," the statement reads.
