Haiti 2030: Plan at a Glance
Haiti 2030 is a comprehensive two-phase action plan for restructuring Haiti into a self-reliant, democratically stable emerging country, fully integrated into the regional and global economy by 2030. Haiti 2030 calls for the mobilization of all efforts and all resources to “make a qualitative change” within 20 years– the theme of the National Strategy for Growth and Poverty Reduction in November 2007. The plan detailing 58 specific projects with short, mid and long term goals and concrete milestones, was originally conceived and written by President Rene Preval in 2007, during his first year in office, then revised and adapted to incorporate programs and emergency measures following the January 12, 2010 earthquake.
Key Focus: Simultaneous Recovery and Development
Key Points: Rebuilding Haiti does not mean returning to conditions that prevailed before the earthquake: a response that goes beyond the losses and damage caused by the earthquake is required. Haiti 2030 proposes action steps for the next 18 months, and estimates costs. The overall aim is to launch key initiatives immediately while addressing the structural causes of Haiti’s under-development.
Goals: Re launch economic, governmental, and social activity, placing Haiti back on the road to development.
Two Phases:
Phase I: Immediate future/18 months, covering the end of the emergency period
Phase II: 10 years/ three programming cycles of the National Strategy for Growth and Poverty Reduction.
Four Pillars:
- Territorial rebuilding– including decentralization, roads, energy and modern infrastructure
- Economic rebuilding—including job generation focusing on agribusiness, trade and tourism
- Social rebuilding – including education and health systems
- Institutional rebuilding – including new legal frameworks, transparency and accountability
Notable: Job generation projects; stabilization across all sectors—political, economic, financial and social; access to credit for small/mid-sized enterprise, new infrastructure including 2 new airports, 2 deep water seaports, highway system and electrical grids.
Implementation Mechanisms
A Temporary Committee for Rebuilding Haiti is in place, headed by former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Jean-Max Belleriev, Prime Minister of Haiti. The committee will evolve into the Agency for the Development of Haiti (ADH). A Multiple Donor Fiduciary Fund (MDFF) has been established by the World Bank for preparation of files and the formulation of programs and projects, and will coordinate the financing and execution of the Rebuilding Program.
Funding: U.S. $11.5 billion in public aid and private funding
