Haiti - USA : $75.5 million in assistance from USAID
The United States Government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Government of Haiti through the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation, signed an amendment on April 23, the Haiti Reconstruction Grant Agreement (HRGA), providing $75.5 million in continued assistance to support a "stable and economically viable Haiti".
At the end of the signing ceremony, Christopher Cushing, Director of the USAID Mission in Haiti said, "USAID provides more than just funds. It provides a multisectoral and large-scale development approach to support the Haitian people in the areas of health, education, agriculture, economic development and energy.
With this funding, USAID will continue to work with partners on the ground to improve livelihoods and strengthen sustainable local efforts in Haiti," recalling that since 2011 this agreement brings USAID's total contribution to Haiti to approximately $1.8 billion.
