Source-derived summary

The Cooperative Action to Build Haiti (KONBA, aka "Working Together to Build Haiti", Haitian Creole: Konbit pou Bati Ayiti / French: Coumbite pour Reconstruire Haïti) is a political party in Haiti. The party was formerly led by Evans Lescouflair, followed by Carlo Clement and then Jean Williams Jeanty as secretary-general.

In the 2006 elections for the Chamber of Deputies, the party won three out of the ninety-nine seats. In the 2009 special elections, KONBA won one seat in the Chamber of Deputies, and the Senate seat for Nippes. During the 48th parliamentary term, the representatives of KONBA in the Chamber of Deputies formed an alliance with the OPL bloc, and as a result, Lescouflair received the post as Minister of Youth, Sport, and Civil Action in the Alexis, Pierre-Louis and Bellerive governments.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Cooperative Action to Build Haiti” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cooperative, Action and Build provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5167871. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006 and 2009.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
