Haiti: Modernization Through Public-Private Partnership

Almost three years after it launched service, the success of Natcom is questionable. This case study examines Teleco’s transition into Natcom and what impact the P3 has had on Haiti’s telecommunication landscape.

Developing a stable, comprehensive, and countrywide state telecommunications network in Haiti has always seemed like a Herculean task. By 2007 Haiti’s state-run telecommunications company, Teleco, required over $1 million in monthly subsidizations and was fraught with corruption. With minimal fixed-line and mobile penetration, it was clear that deep reform, if not a fundamental restructuring needed to take place. In 2010 the Central Bank of Haiti partnered with a Vietnamese company, Viettel to create a new telecom company, Haiti National Telecommunications or Natcom. Almost three years after it launched service, the success of Natcom is questionable. This case study examines Teleco’s transition into Natcom and what impact the P3 has had on Haiti’s telecommunication landscape.
