SUMMARY:

The purpose of this work is to analyze the behavior of Haitian public actors during the process of implementing the Institutional Reform (2012-2017), at the same time seeking to know the change they brought within the Haitian administrative system. This research is based on a strategic analysis of the sociological theory of organizations resulting from the work of Michel Crozier and Erhard Friedberg (1977). This analytical scheme is based on the power relations between the actors without losing sight of the organizational structures and the implicit rules that structure this game. We privilege the qualitative method through content analysis. We operationalize this research from three fundamental concepts (Institutional Reform, Power, Areas of Uncertainty). In this sense, we identified the dimensions to consider. Then, each of its dimensions was divided into indicators or variables. From these indicators, we found a total of 64 initial categories grouped into 16 intermediate categories and 6 final categories extracted from the reform policy program as exhaustive achievements of this institutional reengineering process and the concrete results obtained after these 5 years: First, Michel Martelly's administration took steps to collect information about the public servant. It is about the census (2014) that was done to master the number, structure and cost of the Haitian public service, the implementations to carry out the recruitment of civil servants, based on competition and merit. Second, actions aimed at better human resources management: the government introduced a set of processes to improve the Haitian administrative staff. This initiative aims to promote the development of skills of civil servants throughout their professional career to have access, without discrimination, to the different levels of employment in the Civil Service. Thirdly, there was a desire to strengthen organizational structures: this involves, among other things, strengthening managerial capacity for the rational management of Haitian public institutions. In this sense, the government implemented the inter-ministerial human resources management system (SIGRH); the Departments of Human Resources and the Interministerial Council for Decentralization (CIPD), the creation of an Administrative Information Center (CRA) with the aim of bringing citizens closer to the public administration. After evaluating this reform, we can see that the diagnoses were well made, but in terms of impact, citizens and taxpayers are not satisfied. Indeed, progress in this direction is not remarkable. We identified a set of characteristics of this implementation that do not favor the success of the reform: lack of institutional communication, lack of involvement of sectors of the nation; improvisation and inconsistency in speeches and in the management of State affairs; lack of autonomy in relation to international institutions; continuation in the same corrupt practices; lack of capacity and dysfunction of most predicted mechanisms. Our intention is to stimulate a reflection sober to a crisis of a reform of the Haitian Estado, at a slower pace and that offers a degree of inteligibilidade to understand the hidden mechanisms of a complexity of a governance crisis.
