E/ICEF/2017/P/L.2: UNICEF Country Programme Document for Haiti, 2017-2021

UNICEF's country programme document for Haiti covering 2017 to 2021, dated 22 December 2016 and put to the Executive Board for approval on a no-objection basis at its first regular session of February 2017. It proposes an indicative budget of 23,625,000 dollars from regular resources and 125,000,000 dollars in other resources for the cycle. The programme rationale describes a population of 10.9 million, 42 per cent of it under 18 and about half urban, a gross domestic product per capita of 1,669 dollars, a rank of 163 out of 188 on the 2015 Human Development Index, 58.5 per cent in monetary poverty and 23.8 per cent in extreme poverty below 1.23 dollars a day, with nearly 70 per cent of children under five in poor households.

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, which are assured, and other resources, which depend on specific-purpose contributions.
