IOM (International Migration Organisation) and USAID (United States Agency for International Development), which are in charge of the distribution of non-dietary relief, have informed Haitian Organizations that there is a grave need for a Regional Association.The association would serve as a focal point for coordination, to help improve the efficiency, of providing the aid and support needed by the Haitian population . On the same note, the scouts plan to join some of these regional communication centers, which are yet to be determined and fully collaborated upon. They will for example, be in charge of organizing the food line-ups operated by the US Army in Port-au-Prince. As part of it's -Education- unit, UNESCO has asked the Haitian Scouts to integrate the assessment teams, in order to launch a scholastic census programme.

The Haitian Scouts have facilitated communication between the Dominican and Haitian Ministries of Youth, by maintaining the already established liaisons with the Dominican Scouts. Soon, a Scout conference is expected to take place in St. Domingo so as to outline, the efforts deployed for the reconstruction of Haiti and the various training tools that will be required. The greater objective of this conference, which is highly anticipated by the Haitian Scouts, is to put in place a network of Youth Associations in Haiti.

The Mission includes, a logistician working with les Scouts et Guides de France, a journalist from french magazine, La Vie ( collaborator of the operation), a representative of the Dominican Scouts, department head for Education and department head for Youth of the Dominican Ministries. The vehicle will most probably team up with a Red Cross Convoy which will be going to Haiti on, Thursday January 21st.

The objectives of the mission were re-assessed and have now accounted for the assistance of the various partners and the immediate crisis at hand. Coordinating with the Ministries of Education and Youth of Haiti will be of high priority, so as to re-establish their education program in affiliation with the United Nations educational cluster.

The dominican scouts have offered their national office to function as the logistics base for the collection and transferal of equipment to Port-au-Prince. Apart from helping the Reconnaissance Mission, they will lay out the program designed for the youth and implement it in the refugee camps situated by the border.
