DUE TO THE ONGOING CRISIS IN HAITI, RASIN WAS ONLY ABLE TO COMPLETE 78% OF ITS 2022 WORKPLAN-HOWEVER, IT DID END THE YEAR WITH A BALANCED BUDGET, FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW. IN ADDITION, RASIN FACILITATED A 91% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN ACROSS THE ISLAND, TO 21 IN TOTAL, AND ADDED 2 NEW PROGRAMS, AN ISLAND-WIDE COMMUNITY FORUM AND A YOUTH-ORIENTED CIVIC ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM.
