- A total of 70.8 million US dollars is under negotiation with the Spanish Government and the IDB.

The document presents the action plan for implementing the reform of Haiti's drinking water and sanitation (EPA) sector, built on the framework law ratified unanimously by Parliament in early 2009. The reform creates DINEPA as the central body and regional offices (OREPA) to take over from CAMEP and SNEP, with communes taking over in the long term. It describes a three-year transition, sector regulation tasks, preparation of the OREPA and an operational capacity plan. Seven priority axes are laid out with a 2009-2011 timeline, covering governance, a national observatory, studies, investments, service transfer, human resources and communication.
Expected results include rehabilitation of water systems in several cities, a national tariff grid, national water quality standards and the start of wastewater sanitation in five towns. The reform investment need is estimated at about 234 million US dollars for seven major projects, and the funding need of DINEPA itself is 32.53 million US dollars over three years.
