The United Nations Office of the Special Envoy for Haiti (OSE) has conducted a new analysis of pledges made for post-earthquake recovery activities, revealing a disbursement rate for the 2010-2012 period among public sector donors of 52.3%.

Out of the funding disbursed from the pledges, bilateral donors have disbursed $43.8 million out of $1.73 billion (2.5%) of their funds as budget support (that has reached the government) and multilateral donors have disbursed $233.1 million out of $1.06 billion (22%) as budget support.

The analysis is based upon updates from 55 public sector pledge-makers from the international donors' conference "Towards a New Future for Haiti," held in New York on 31 March 2010. Of these donors, 22 have disbursed 100% of their pledges for 2010 – 2011. And eight out of the 12 major donors have disbursement rates higher than 69% for their 2010 – 2012 pledges.

The 55 public sector donors pledged approximately $5.33 billion for recovery activities between 2010 and 2012. (This number does not include debt relief pledges totaling $993.5 million). Of the $5.35 billion pledged, $2.79 billion (52.3%) has been disbursed.

This $2.79 billion was disbursed by bilateral and multilateral donors through five channels as follows:

• $1.94 billion (69.4%) in grants in support of the Government of Haiti, and to multilateral agencies, NGOs and private contractors;

• $281.1 million (10.1%) in pooled grant funding to the United Nations, Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank through the Haiti Reconstruction Fund (HRF);

• $251.9 million (9%) in direct budget support to the Government of Haiti;

• $213.5 million (7.7%) in loans to the Government of Haiti and other recipients; and

• $105.8 million (3.8%) in budget support to the Government of Haiti via the HRF (of which $25 million has been disbursed by the HRF partner entities to the government).

Bilateral and multilateral donors have disbursed an additional $862.9 million for general development in Haiti, outside of the New York conference recovery pledges.

Note : This analysis does not include funds pledged for humanitarian relief activities. It is also exclusive of pledges made by privately funded organizations at the New York donors’ conference.
