SAK PASE in Haiti Act of 2025

The SAK PASE in Haiti Act of 2025 (H.R. 4286) would require the U.S. Department of State to develop and implement a comprehensive, Haiti-led strategy to counter gang violence and stabilize Haiti within 90 days of enactment. The strategy would involve bolstering security forces (including the Haitian National Police, the Armed Forces of Haiti, and the Multinational Security Support Mission), coordinating with international partners, and evaluating a potential long-term United Nations Peacekeeping Operations mission. It also calls for addressing illicit arms and political backing of gangs, expanding economic opportunities for Haitians (through programs like Haiti HOPE/HELP), and assessing how sanctions affect humanitarian aid and private capital. Importantly, the bill emphasizes that solutions must be led by the Haitian people in close partnership with Haitian civil society and transitional leadership. The Secretary of State would consult with U.S. agencies, private sector actors, and Haitian stakeholders, and would report on progress to Congress periodically for five years.
