Key Findings

BMPAD has evolved significantly since 1985, managing diverse development aid programs, including US PL-480, multilateral funds, and the PetroCaribe agreement, to finance national priority projects.
The PetroCaribe agreement enables Haiti to secure petroleum products under preferential conditions, with a portion of payments retained by the state to fund critical infrastructure and social development projects.
BMPAD played a key role in post-Hurricane Matthew recovery, rehabilitating 63 school roofs in Nippes and Sud-Est and distributing 30,000 bags of Japanese rice to affected populations.
Japanese food aid, valued at over $4 million, has been monetized by BMPAD to finance numerous educational infrastructure projects, including the construction and rehabilitation of high schools across Haiti.
Beyond its core mandate, BMPAD actively promotes social well-being and gender equality, exemplified by its support for an employee battling cancer and its organization of a conference on women's rights.
