The Implementation Completion and Results Report (ICR) evaluates the Haiti Electricity Infrastructure Reconstruction and Energy Access Expansion Project, funded by the World Bank. Approved in 2012, the project sought to enhance energy policy and planning capabilities, improve the sustainability and resilience of the electricity sector, and expand access to reliable electricity services. The project included components focused on institutional strengthening, performance improvement of Électricité d’Haïti (EDH), infrastructure rehabilitation, and a contingency emergency response. However, the project experienced several restructurings, funding cancellations, and faced challenges related to governance, security, and implementation capacity. The ICR assesses the project's relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency in achieving its intended objectives, providing lessons and recommendations for future interventions in Haiti's energy sector.
