Haiti 2011-2015 Country Program Evaluation
- The IDB fulfilled its financial commitments to Haiti under the IDB-9 mandate.
- Coordination among donors in Haiti remained insufficient.
- The Bank's strategy did not fully address reconstruction needs in a sequenced manner.
- The grant modality eliminated incentives for country ownership and commitment to repay.
- The country strategy objectives and targets were unrealistic given Haiti's fragility and limited institutional capacity.
The Country Program Evaluation (CPE) 2011-2015 for Haiti covers the first five years of the IDB-9 mandate and provides an opportunity to evaluate the Bank’s program and strategic positioning in the post-earthquake period. The CPE examines the main achievements of the strategic move arising from the IDB-9 commitments and identifies the adjustments needed for the Bank to position itself over the five years remaining in the IDB-9 mandate. The evaluation found that while the IDB fulfilled its financial commitments, coordination among donors remained insufficient, and the strategy did not fully address reconstruction needs in a sequenced manner. The report recommends setting realistic strategic goals, integrating the Bank's resources into the national budget, preparing an exit strategy for financing government officials/consultants, consolidating the investment portfolio, and targeting sovereign-guaranteed resources to improve the business climate.
