Haiti - Technology : US$16 million for the digital transformation of the Government
Friday July 19, 2024, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) approved a grant of $16 million for a Program to Strengthen the Foundations of the Digital Transformation of Public Management to Improve Government Effectiveness, aimed at improving the implementation implementing policies and delivering services to the citizens of Haiti through the digital transformation of public management.

This Program aims to increase the institutional capacity of the Digital Government Agency of Haiti and also aims to improve the efficiency of basic management systems managed by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) as well as the cybersecurity monitoring and management capacity of public agencies.

In this context, digital transformation of public management will tackle the issue of insufficient capacity of the state to deliver on its functions and basic public services, thus helping address Haiti’s fragility. By fostering digital transformation of public management, the project will contribute to improve effectiveness of policy design and implementation, efficiency, quality and inclusiveness of service delivery, and public sector transparency and integrity.

"This project will benefit the citizens of Haiti, who will be able to access better and more inclusive public services thanks to the digitalization of MEF internal management, the strengthening of institutional, regulatory and technological capacities, and the development of talent of public sector digital transformation,” said Claudia Mendieta, Public Sector Management Specialist at the IDB’s Innovation in Citizen Services Division. “Furthermore, the project will address the MEF’s critical need of improving the resilience of its operation and business continuity in the current complex country situation, contributing this way to the resilience of the whole public administration operation," she added.

The project is structured in three components, each designed to address specific aspects of the government’s digital transformation. The first component will strengthen public sector digital governance and the institutional capacity of the Statistics and Information Technology Institute (IHSI) as the digital government agency.

The second component will promote the digital transformation of Central MEF internal management, by financing improvements in digital infrastructure, including connectivity, energy and cloud, and in key digital solutions such as interoperability, digital document management, digital signature, digital payments, and hybrid work, among others.

The third component will improve public sector cybersecurity capacity. It will focus on developing public sector cybersecurity governance and the capacity to protect, monitor, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents.

The $16 million IDB grant to Haiti has a disbursement period of five years.
