Implementation Completion and Results Report - Strengthening Governance in Education, Water and Sanitation
Summary — This report assesses the achievements of the Strengthening Governance in Education, Water and Sanitation Development Policy Grant (DPG) in Haiti. The DPG aimed to support the Government of Haiti in strengthening transparency and building institutional capacity for budget management in the education, water, and sanitation sectors. The World Bank approved the US$17.33 million grant in June 2014, and it closed in December 2015.
Key Findings
- Progress on the DPG-supported reform program was limited, with half of the result indicators missed and the other half partially achieved.
- The Government’s attention was diverted by implementing reconstruction activities funded by non-conditional resources.
- Political instability weakened the oversight of the reform agenda.
- Weak public institutional and technical capacity hindered progress on the reforms.
