Ouanaminthe (French pronunciation: [wanamɛ̃t]; Haitian Creole: Wanament or Wanamèt; Spanish: Juana Méndez) is a commune or town located in the Nord-Est department of Haiti.

Throughout its history, the city has repeatedly been a site of mediation in international disputes, first between French and Spanish colonists, and in more modern times as part of the long-standing Haitian-Dominican conflict.

Haitians living in Ouanaminthe are allowed to cross the border freely without documents two days per week, mainly for the market on Mondays and Fridays at Dajabón, where they buy and sell goods.

The name Ouanaminthe is the French form of the Taíno word Guanaminto, which was the reported pronunciation of the name of the indigenous village that preexisted European settlement on the present-day town site.

Haiti's educational system is constituted of four parts: Currently there are five new primary schools under construction, funded by Foi et Joie[2] (Faith and Joy) under the patronage of Jesuit Refugee Service as well as Solidaridad Fronteriza.

Local airports have short runways with no ILS instruments, making air ambulance evacuation impossible in marginal weather or at night.

• Seeking to combat contraband and encourage domestic production, in 2015 Haiti banned the importation by truck of 23 items, including bottled drinking water and spaghetti.
