The National Security Advisor to the President, Monica Juma, says the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti will continue despite the United States government halting its contribution of $15 million to the UN Trust Fund.
In a statement on the X platform, Juma confirmed that the operations will be backed by approximately $110 million from other donors.
“It is true the U.S. contribution to the UN Trust Fund for MSS Haiti is on pause, affecting about $15 million in support. It is also true that the MSS mission is a priority and a beneficiary of the waiver,” Juma stated.
“Meanwhile, there are sufficient funds in the UN Trust Fund for Haiti from other countries (approximately $110 million) to continue operations,” she added.
On Tuesday, the United Nations confirmed the U.S. government’s order to immediately stop contributions to the mission as part of a 90-day foreign aid freeze.
Kenya, which is leading the MSS mission, has so far sent over 600 officers to support Haiti’s National Police in securing the Caribbean nation.
