| Project Detail |
The development objective of the Infrastructure and Institutions Emergency Recovery Project for Haiti is to support the Recipient in its sustainable recovery efforts from the effects of the Emergency, through selected interventions aiming to rebuilding key institutions and infrastructure. The second additional grant will finance new activities aimed at supporting governance and public financial management (PFM) (component one), which is a critical need in the context of the current emergency, as well as complete ongoing road rehabilitation works. The resources will also cover the financing gap due to the depreciation of the special drawing right (SDR) allocation. The additional financing (AF) will also involve a level two project restructuring, which will include: (i) an extension of the closing date of the project by 12 months, from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017, to allow for the completion of additional activities deriving from the recently adopted PFM reform action plan (RAP) under component one, and the rehabilitation of the road between Cap Haitian and Labadie under component two of the parent project; (ii) dropping the Électricité d Haïti (EDH) (power utility) financial statements audit (now covered by the International Development Association (IDA) - financed Rebuilding Energy Infrastructure and Access Project), the WIMAX backup of the Central Bank payment system network and the civil service census, all under component one; these freed resources will remain within component one to cover new activities stemming from the PFMRAP and the public investment management action plan (PIMAP); (iii) dropping the rehabilitation of aviation safety equipment, works for the rehabilitation of the road between Milot and Cap Haïtien, and mineral extraction, all under component two, due to shifting government priorities and use of domestic resources for these activities |
