Lescarmel Durand, Project Manager, CEDEL HAITI I manage 90% of the different projects at CEDEL HAITI. I draw up budgets, participate in negotiations, take care of the implementation plan for each project, communicate with donors, partners and beneficiaries, manage logistics and write narrative or statistical reports. In October 2022, I closed a project with a business plan presentation competition of 20 women who were wives, mothers, university students and who showed remarkable creativity in entrepreneurship. I coordinated this project from May to October 2022. A project with the US Embassy for women entrepreneurs in Haiti; AWE (Academy for Women Entrepreneurs). This year, I coordinate a project with Bridge for Billions. They launched an entrepreneurship project for young people in Haiti with innovative ideas. Support Officer – Papyrus I updated the collection tools developed, in addition to data entry; I prepared the performance reports of the project. Business Management – Master I.
I would like to participate in ACE this year in exchange for learning more about the economy of another culture and being able to apply my knowledge in the context of the work I do with the young entrepreneurs who are beneficiaries of the different programs I manage at CEDEL HAITI. These young people will be able to polish their business ideas, giving them a better orientation for new experiences. I want to do my job better than I do it right now and provide my full support to the entrepreneurs.
