World Bank says support to Haiti is valued at nearly two billion dollars

The World Bank says as of May this year, its portfolio in Haiti amounts to US$1.25 billion, comprising 18 active projects, of which 38 per cent is allocated to the infrastructure sector, supporting territorial balances and climate change adaptation.

The announcement by the Washington-based financial institution follows the visit last week of a high-level delegation that held discussions with Prime Minister Dr. Ariel Henry and other stakeholders.

It said consultations were held with the various stakeholders, including representatives of the Haiti Central Bank, on the potential priorities under a new Country Partnership Framework that will guide the bank's support for Haiti's development efforts over the next five years.
