Country programme document for Haiti (2023-2027)

This UNDP country program document for Haiti (2023-2027) addresses the multidimensional crises the country has faced from 2017-2022, including political instability with six successive Prime Ministers, the presidential assassination, natural disasters including a 7.2 magnitude earthquake, and deteriorating humanitarian conditions affecting 4.9 million people by 2022. The program is aligned with Haiti's Strategic Development Plan 2012-2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2023-2027.

The program focuses on two main priority areas: rule of law, good governance and human rights; and equitable and sustainable growth. Under governance, UNDP will work to restore trust between the state and population through electoral support, reducing community violence, combating corruption, and strengthening the Haitian National Police. Special attention is given to gender-based violence prevention and LGBTI+ inclusion.

For economic development, the program aims to develop a new economic model that creates sustainable livelihoods for youth and women while reducing poverty and inequality. This includes supporting green economic growth, blue economy strategies, renewable energy, and strengthening institutional capacities for better service delivery to economic actors, particularly micro and small enterprises.

The document emphasizes UNDP's comparative advantage in multidimensional development approaches, crisis response capabilities, and coordination with other UN agencies and national partners to address structural causes of Haiti's fragilities.
