→ Aware of the deterioration of the city, Aquin nationals living in France formed an association on September 27, 2015 .

→ The project was developed in a participatory manner between the association Précurseur France and Précurseur Haiti. The two associations have, thanks to social and telephone networks, worked remotely on the project. In order to achieve the common object defined in the statutes of two associations, the tasks and roles are clearly defined. On the one hand, Precursor Haiti assists in the development of the district, which requires the creation of a framework for consultation, dialogue which is so lacking. On the other hand, Précurseur France will have to mobilize material and financial resources to finance actions in Haiti (purchase of land to erect the socio-cultural center, popularization of the project among the populations.)

→ This is a project that takes into account several dimensions of the life of Aquinas inhabitants : social, economic, cultural and environmental:

• Social dimension: the inhabitants are at the heart of the project in the sense that they must take responsibility for themselves, take initiatives to boost the development of their agglomeration which takes social well-being into account. The meeting space becomes a place of socialization, exchanges, mutual aid.

• Economic dimension: the inhabitants are called upon to ensure the sustainability of the project. Each year, they democratically determine the annual membership fee payable to everyone who attends the center. They are involved in the financial management of the center with complete transparency, a guarantee of confidence.

• Environmental dimension: the activities that will be taken within the framework of environmental awareness must respect the environment. Anything that pollutes the environment will be prohibited. Public hygiene and sanitation actions will be developed for the well-being of all.

→ Being a place of resources, the socio-cultural center will be open to everyone without distinction, in particular to students, allowing residents to appropriate cultural substrates and to flourish. The project contributes to the achievement of quality education. The principle of this socio-cultural center is to bring the living forces and the inhabitants of the different sections to rely on the instruments put in place within it in order to jointly define development actions for their municipality. Within the framework of this project, the following activities will be defined and implemented collectively. It's about :

• Activities intended for residents of neighborhoods which aim to promote health awareness (management of household waste that must not be thrown into the sea, fight against the wild cutting of trees which contributes to global warming),

• environmental awareness (management of household waste that must not be thrown into the sea, fight against the wild cutting of trees which contributes to global warming),

• urban development (awareness of anarchic construction.)

Glossary:

Endogenous: Which is produced by the structure itself without any external input. (In our case, the development will come from the inhabitants and the authorities specific to Aquin)

Catalyst: Element that causes a reaction not just its presence or its intervention. (In our case, the representatives of each communal section will be a springboard for development because they will be real intermediaries between the socio-cultural center and the inhabitants of each section to know the needs.)
