Summary of Haiti: Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper—Progress Report

Core Content

This document is a poverty reduction strategy progress report for Haiti, prepared by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff team in February 2012. It serves as background material for periodic consultations with the Haitian government and outlines the reconstruction, growth, and poverty reduction efforts in the country following the 2010 earthquake and subsequent natural disasters. The report is based on data and developments up to 2011 and includes the Action Plan for National Recovery and Development (PARDH) and the first National Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (DSNCRP).

Main Points

1. Post-Earthquake Context

The 2010 earthquake caused massive destruction, impacting 1.5 million people (15% of the population) directly.
Over 300,000 people died, and similar numbers were injured.
105,000 homes were destroyed, and over 208,000 were damaged.
Over 1,300 educational institutions and 50 hospitals were destroyed or rendered unusable.
The main port and government buildings were severely affected.
The economic impact was estimated at US$5.7 billion for the private sector.

2. International Response

At the March 2010 New York pledging conference, $5.6 billion was pledged for the first 18 months of PARDH, with $1.1 billion in debt relief and $2.1 billion in project financing approved by the end of 2010.
By end-2011, $1 billion of the project financing had been disbursed.
The total reconstruction needs were estimated at US$11.5 billion, with $7.8 billion in damages from the earthquake and additional hurricanes and cholera exacerbating the situation.

3. Structure of the PARDH

PARDH is divided into four pillars:
- Territorial rebuilding: Focuses on development centers, infrastructure, and land tenure.
- Economic rebuilding: Aims to modernize agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and tourism.
- Social rebuilding: Includes education, health, and social protection.
- Institutional rebuilding: Seeks to restore state institutions, improve governance, and combat corruption.

4. Progress in Recovery

Displaced persons: The number of people in camps dropped from 1.5 million in 2010 to 520,000.
Infrastructure: Over $20% of debris has been recycled into building materials, and hundreds of kilometers of new roads have been built.
Education: 80% of children in camps are in school, with 180,000 attending schools due to tuition waivers.
Health: Hospitals and health centers are being repaired, and a national cholera alert system is in place.
Employment: Over 300,000 temporary jobs were created through cash-for-work programs.
Agriculture: Production increased by 1% in 2011, with efforts to improve water management and fishing infrastructure.

5. Macroeconomic Performance (2008–2011)

Real GDP growth in 2011 was 5.6%, up from a 5.1% decline in 2010.
Inflation remained under control, in single-digit levels.
Exports increased by 36%, mainly due to improved market access in the US.
International reserves reached US$2.1 billion by end-2011, equivalent to 5.3 months of imports.
Debt relief and project financing contributed to fiscal stability and reduced budget deficits.

6. Challenges and Delays

The reconstruction and recovery were slower than planned due to political instability, lack of coordination, and weak institutional capacity.
The absence of a central coordination mechanism hindered progress.
Despite these challenges, new capacities were developed, and coordination and prioritization remain key areas for improvement.

Key Information

PARDH was launched in March 2010 and aims for a 20-year recovery.
The first DSNCRP (2008–2010) was a participatory strategy involving 10 departments and various stakeholders.
The DSNCRP was designed to stimulate growth, reduce poverty, and improve governance.
Poverty reduction funds accounted for 44% of total funding during the DSNCRP period.
The government's long-term vision is to make Haiti an emerging country by 2032.
Coordination between government, donors, and civil society is crucial for efficient implementation.

Conclusion

The report highlights significant progress in reconstruction and poverty reduction since the 2010 earthquake, but also notable challenges in coordination and institutional capacity. It emphasizes the need for continued support, strategic alignment, and improved governance to achieve the long-term goals of growth and development. The DSNCRP and PARDH are seen as key frameworks for guiding Haiti's recovery and future development.
