Infrastructure for Development, Vol. 1 No. 2: How to Turn the Lights On in Haiti
Summary: The second issue of the IDB's Infrastructure for Development series takes Haiti's electricity sector as its subject. It is a short brief. It sets out why so little of the country is connected, what the state utility's technical and commercial losses do to its finances, and what would have to change on generation, distribution and tariffs for supply to improve. It gives a compact, dated statement of the sector's structure from a lender that finances it.
Key Findings
- It is a brief. The sector's structure is stated without the evidence base a diagnostic would carry.
- It comes from a lender active in the sector, which makes it a statement of what that lender believed the problem to be in 2016.
- It belongs to a numbered series, so the issue number dates it precisely.
