Haiti - Economy : End of World Bank mission on the renewal of its commitment... 31/08/2024 10:28:19
During their stay, the priorities of the new administration were discussed and the World Bank’s commitment to continue fighting extreme poverty in Haiti was underscored. The delegation met with Prime Minister Garry Conille, Minister of Finance Ketleen Florestal, cabinet members, development partners, and other key stakeholders. "We had very important discussions with the Government, donor partners, and civil society organizations on how we can further maximize the impact of World Bank investments in Haiti. IDA contributes to stability, reaches the poorest people, and produces sustainable results," said Dirk Reinermann, adding "IDA is committed to continuing its support to Haiti to address the key drivers of fragility and poverty in the country." During the mission, the World Bank delegation stressed the importance of completing the consultation process for the new Country Partnership Framework, as well as the preparation of the eligibility note to access the Fragility, Violence, and Conflict (FCV) Envelope. The FCV Envelope is a World Bank facility dedicated to countries affected by fragility, violence, and conflict. If approved, it will provide an opportunity for Haiti to benefit from additional funds to finance the response efforts to the current crisis and help address the underlying causes of violence. The delegation also visited projects in the Southern region of the country as well as the new site of the National Emergency Operations Center of the General Directorate of Civil Protection, financed in part by IDA under the Project to Strengthen Disaster Risk Management and Climate Resilience in Haiti. While more than 80% of the World Bank’s IDA-supported programs, currently valued at $1.3 billion, are implemented outside of Port-au-Prince, in communities where the security situation is more stable, the needs of the poor are addressed through responses to food insecurity, risk management, building resilient infrastructure, and supporting urban development.
