At a Glance
Budget
$20 Million

Timeline
18 months
Parallel to Blueprint 4-08 (reconstruction phase)
Q2 2026 - Q4 2027
Key Actors
- • CARICOM Secretariat (Guyana leadership)
- • Jamaica government (Kingston pilot host)
- • Trinidad government (Port of Spain pilot)
- • World Bank (technical assistance)
- • Haiti (model exporter, peer mentorship)
Strategic Value
Insulates Haiti model from US political risk
Enables Caribbean-wide replication
Highest cost-effectiveness: $50M per credibility point
Problem It Solves
The US Political Risk Problem: Blueprints 4-01, 4-06, 4-08 depend heavily on US funding and political support:
- • Blueprint 4-08: $100M US Congressional appropriation (30% rejection risk before mitigation)
- • US State Dept drives World Bank engagement (Blueprint 4-01 Turn 22-24: "US will increase WB capital $500M if escrow approved")
- • US administration change risk (2024 election → new president 2025 could withdraw support)
- • Perception: "Haiti gang deals are US experiment" (not internationally legitimate model)
Blueprint 4-10 transforms perception from US unilateral to Caribbean regional:
- • CARICOM vote (Sept 2024): 12-0-3 vote authorizing Gang Suppression Force demonstrates Caribbean consensus on Haiti intervention
- • Jamaica + Trinidad pilots: If Haiti model works, replicate in Kingston (gang violence problem) + Port of Spain (similar gang dynamics) → "This is CARIBBEAN solution, not US imposition"
- • Peer mentorship: Haitian gang leaders mentor Jamaican/Trinidadian counterparts → "We proved this works, you can too" (higher credibility than international consultants)
- • US insulation: If US withdraws support 2025-2027, CARICOM can sustain Haiti model independently (reduces terminal failure risk)
Result: Haiti peace plan survives US political volatility, becomes replicable Caribbean-wide model.
How It Works
5 Implementation Phases
CARICOM Secretariat (Guyana) proposes "Caribbean Violence Reduction Framework" resolution — citing Haiti Blueprint 4-06 success as evidence. 15-member CARICOM vote: 13-0-2 (Bahamas, Barbados abstain citing budget concerns). Resolution authorizes Jamaica + Trinidad pilots.
Jamaica government (Kingston) identifies 3 gang leaders for pilot (Tivoli Gardens, Denham Town, Spanish Town). World Bank provides $7M technical assistance. Haitian team (Cherizier + Church mediator) travels to Jamaica for peer mentorship workshop.
Trinidad government (Port of Spain) replicates Jamaica model. $5M World Bank funding. 2 gang federations identified (Beetham, Laventille). Haitian peer mentorship (Wilson Joseph + BINUH monitor) provides technical transfer.
Jamaica pilot: 3-gang coordination, $2M escrow payments, 500 jobs. Trinidad pilot: 2-gang coordination, $1.5M escrow, 300 jobs. CARICOM monitors deployed (same BINUH verification protocol as Haiti). Month 12 assessment: Jamaica 75% success (2 of 3 gangs comply), Trinidad 100% success (both gangs comply).
CARICOM summit (Month 18): "Caribbean Violence Reduction Framework is PROVEN — Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad pilots all demonstrate gang deal model viable." Resolution passed 15-0 (Bahamas + Barbados now support after pilot evidence). CARICOM requests World Bank $100M "Caribbean Violence Reduction Fund" for region-wide scaling (Guyana, Belize, Suriname potential next pilots).
Peer Mentorship Model
Haitian gang leaders + mediators provide technical transfer to Jamaica/Trinidad:
- • Cherizier workshop (Jamaica Month 4): "I was skeptical World Bank would pay. They DID pay $250K. Then $6.5M capstone. Then my community got $500M reconstruction. Economic alternatives ARE real — violence is NOT solution."
- • Wilson Joseph workshop (Trinidad Month 7): "400 Mawozo coordinated with Viv Ansanm rivals. Payment allocation formula was FAIR (31.67% for me, 46.67% for Cherizier based on territory size). Multi-gang coordination WORKS if payments structured correctly."
- • Church mediator (both pilots): Transfers incident attribution protocol, elder verification system, accountability framework (Turn 61-66 HNP corruption precedent)
Why It Will Succeed (88% Probability)
Success Factors (Second Highest Probability)
- ✓CARICOM vote already passed (Sept 2024): 12-0-3 Gang Suppression Force authorization demonstrates Caribbean political will exists
- ✓Jamaica + Trinidad gang violence precedent: Kingston has 1,400 murders/year (similar scale to Port-au-Prince), domestic political pressure to find solutions
- ✓Peer credibility advantage: Haitian gang leaders have "we lived this" credibility that international consultants lack (Cherizier testimony: "I was skeptical, they paid")
- ✓Low budget = low risk: $20M total is 4% of Blueprint 4-08 budget ($500M), minimal financial exposure if pilots fail
- ✓World Bank replication incentive: WB has institutional interest in "Violence Reduction Framework" becoming global model (justifies Haiti investment)
Cost-Effectiveness: Highest Scorecard Value (100.0)
Pass 7 Part 1 evaluation ranked Blueprint 4-10 HIGHEST across all blueprints:
- • $50M per credibility point: LOWEST cost (vs. $1,250M for Blueprint 4-08)
- • Strategic value maximum: Insulates Haiti from US political risk (reduces terminal failure probability 5.32% → 3.1%)
- • Timeline feasibility 100%: 18 months realistic for pilot design + implementation (vs. 28 months Blueprint 4-08)
- • Replication potential 95%: Jamaica + Trinidad success → Guyana, Belize, Suriname, El Salvador next (Caribbean-wide + Latin America scaling)
Key Risks & Mitigation
RISK: Jamaica or Trinidad pilot fails (gang leaders reject model, violence increases)
Mitigation: Two-pilot structure = redundancy. If Jamaica fails (25% probability), Trinidad success (88% probability) sufficient to prove model replicable. CARICOM can declare "1 of 2 success still validates Caribbean framework."
Probability: 25% Jamaica failure × 12% Trinidad failure = 3% both fail
RISK: CARICOM member states withdraw support (budget concerns, sovereignty objections)
Mitigation: World Bank funding ($20M) eliminates CARICOM budget burden. Peer mentorship (not foreign consultants) addresses sovereignty concerns. Bahamas + Barbados abstentions (Phase 1) convert to support (Phase 5) after pilot evidence demonstrated.
Probability: 10% (reduced from 25% after WB funding commitment)
RISK: Haiti model collapses before Blueprint 4-10 pilots launch (undermines credibility)
Mitigation: Q2 2026 Blueprint 4-10 launch = 12+ months AFTER Blueprint 4-06 capstone proves stable. If Haiti collapses Month 1-9 (before 4-10 launch), pilots delayed until Haiti restabilizes (not abandoned).
Probability: 5% (Blueprint 4-06 has 80% success, 20% failure × 25% irreversible collapse before Month 12 = 5%)
What Happens If This Succeeds
Caribbean Regional Model: Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad demonstrate "Caribbean Violence Reduction Framework" is REPLICABLE (not isolated Haiti experiment). CARICOM requests World Bank $100M fund for region-wide scaling.
US Political Risk Insulation: If US administration changes 2025-2027 and withdraws Haiti support, CARICOM can sustain model independently. Jamaica + Trinidad pilots funded by World Bank (not US Congress), reduces dependency on US political stability.
International Legitimacy: Blueprint 4-08 US reconstruction benefits from "Caribbean regional consensus" narrative (not "US unilateral experiment"). Congressional appropriations hearings cite "CARICOM 15-0 support" as evidence international community backs Haiti model.
Global Scaling Potential: BINUH recommends "scale Haiti model globally" (Blueprint 4-08 Turn 87). El Salvador (gang truces 2012-2014 precedent), Colombia (FARC reintegration), Liberia (civil war DDR) request World Bank technical assistance for potential replication. Haiti becomes "CARICOM export success story."
Haitian Leadership Restored: Haiti transitions from "failed state requiring intervention" to "regional model exporter." Cherizier + Wilson Joseph recognized as "peer mentors" internationally (restores dignity, not just violence reduction).
