The Implementation Completion Report (ICR) evaluates the Haiti Economic and Social Fund Project (Credit 2205-HA), which was approved in 1991 with the objective of assisting Haiti in addressing the basic needs of the poor and strengthening institutional capacity. The project aimed to establish the Fonds d'Assistance Economique et Sociale (FAES) as an effective mechanism for responding to the needs of the poor through NGOs and community groups. It supported initiatives in health, nutrition, education, and infrastructure, including civil works, equipment provision, and technical assistance. The project faced challenges due to a military coup, limited institutional capacity, and delays in fund disbursement, but ultimately achieved most of its output objectives and had a positive impact on the welfare of client communities.
