Overview

• Vectus Global will maintain a presence in Haiti for a decade after Prince announced a 10-year agreement with the transitional government to combat armed gangs and design a border tax-collection system.
• The firm plans to reinforce its existing drone operations with several hundred personnel from the U.S., Europe and El Salvador, including snipers, intelligence specialists, helicopters and naval assets.
• Prince said he aims to restore safe travel between Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien within a year as a key benchmark but declined to disclose payment terms or expected tax revenue.
• U.S. State Department and White House spokespeople confirmed that Washington is not funding or overseeing Vectus Global’s Haitian contract.
• Human rights organizations and security analysts warned that outsourcing core security and fiscal duties risks abuses, undermines domestic institutions and faces steep operational hurdles after previous contractor setbacks.
