E/ICEF/2012/P/L.30: UNICEF Country Programme Document for Haiti, 2013-2016

UNICEF's country programme document for Haiti covering 2013 to 2016, presented to the Executive Board for discussion at its second regular session of September 2012 and approved at the first regular session of 8 February 2013. It sets out the programme rationale against the country's child indicators of the period, among them an under-five underweight rate of 18 per cent, a reported maternal mortality ratio of 630 per 100,000 live births, primary net enrolment of 48 per cent for boys and 52 per cent for girls, 69 per cent using improved drinking water and 17 per cent adequate sanitation, adult HIV prevalence of 1.9 per cent, child labour at 21 per cent of 5- to 14-year-olds and birth registration at 81 per cent.

A country programme document is the instrument by which UNICEF puts a multi-year programme of cooperation to its Executive Board. It sets out the situation of children, the results the programme will pursue with the government, the programme components and their rationale, the partnerships and risks, and an indicative budget split between regular resources and other resources.

This edition went to the Board in two steps, which is the normal course: a draft for discussion and comment at the second regular session of 11 to 14 September 2012, then the version approved at the first regular session of 8 February 2013. The summary results matrix for the same cycle is held separately.
