With a presence only in Port-au-Prince, and focusing exclusively on the provision of advisory services and good offices, BINUH works primarily with State institutions to:

1. Strengthen political stability and good governance, including the rule of law;
2. Advance a peaceful and stable environment, including through supporting an inclusive inter-Haitian national dialogue;
3. Protect and promote human rights.

The activities of the mission, that aim to help create the conditions needed for sustainable development, are integrated with those of the 19 agencies, funds and programmes of the United Nations Country Team, which deliver humanitarian assistance and implement development programmes under the leadership of national authorities.
