Full Description
This comprehensive strategic document outlines Haiti's ambitious three-year investment program for 2014-2016, designed as a tool for implementing the Strategic Development Plan of Haiti (PSDH). The program aims to achieve accelerated and balanced economic growth while reducing poverty, with the ultimate vision of transforming Haiti into an emerging country by 2030.
The document is structured around four major foundational pillars: territorial refoundation, economic refoundation, social refoundation, and institutional refoundation. Each pillar contains specific programs and sub-programs designed to address Haiti's development challenges comprehensively. The plan acknowledges Haiti's current situation regarding poverty, inequality, and low human development indicators.
The framework establishes new mechanisms for planning, programming, and managing development initiatives. It emphasizes the need for improved coordination of external aid, better information systems for development tracking, and enhanced monitoring and evaluation processes. The document also outlines financing strategies, including fiscal policy reforms, private investment attraction, and international cooperation.
The implementation approach focuses on creating sustainable economic growth engines, improving competitiveness, and establishing social protection systems. The plan addresses employment policies, commercial strategies, and monetary policy orientations to support the overall development objectives.
