In her inaugural statement, she expressed a commitment to “breathe new life” into the FNE, emphasizing a focus on innovative management and transparency in the organization’s operations. This leadership change comes at a critical time as Haiti’s education system faces significant challenges, including the impact of ongoing security issues and school closures that have affected many children’s access to education.
Under the previous leadership of Jean Ronald Joseph, the FNE had made strides in various educational initiatives, including investments in free education programs and infrastructure improvements. As Ms. Civil steps into her role, she aims to build upon these foundations while addressing the pressing needs of the educational sector in Haiti, which has been severely impacted by socioeconomic instability and violence.
Her vision for the FNE aligns with broader efforts to enhance educational support in Haiti, as seen in recent partnerships with organizations like the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Global Partnership for Education (GPE), which are working to improve access to quality education for vulnerable youth in the country.
