2. ENLIGHTEN HAITI

3. Over1.3 billion people—almost 20 percent of
the world’s population—still have no access to
electricity.
About 768 million people worldwide lack access
to clean water; and 2.5 billion do not have
adequate sanitation; 2.8 billion people still cook
their food with solid fuels (such as wood); and
one billion people live more than two kilometers
from an all-weather road.

4. Infrastructureplays a critical role in growth,
competitiveness, job creation and poverty alleviation.
Investment in high-quality, sustainable infrastructure
can provide basic services to households; lead to
productive gains for industry; provide market access for
agriculture; enable sustainable urban development;
open corridors of trade for poor and landlocked
countries to the global economy; and help progress
towards a more climate-smart world.
However, despite robust growth over the last decade,
many people in emerging markets and developing
economies (EMDEs) still do not have access to reliable
and affordable infrastructure services.
This lack of infrastructure comes at enormous economic
and social cost.

5. WHERE?

6. Haiti’s power sector is badly underserved and requires
additional reliable grid-based electricity supply to support
economic growth. As a result, industrial and commercial
customers have gone largely off-grid, thereby hampering new
economic activity. The expansion of grid-based power
generation could be an efficient way to expand access to power
in Haiti and, in particular, provide cost-effective and reliable
electricity to support the competitiveness of the country’s
burgeoning labor-intensive manufacturing industry. Such a
project would also support the improvement in the electrical
utility’s financial sustainability. At the same time, water, liquid
and solids treatment and sanitation sector in general would, be
highly impacted.
WHAT?

7. A country where only about 20% of the 10 million population
are estimated to have access to electricity, the lowest
percentage in the Caribbean.
The trash and waste problem in Haiti an ongoing nightmare for
the people living there, with garbage filling the streets. Having a
few landfills or dumpsters, there is no place to dispose its
increasing volume of waste.
Experts recognized the urgent need to remove latrine excreta
from the Internally displaced persons (IDP) camps.

10. With the support of the RMF to mitigate
off taker and other government risks (e.g.,
transmission risk), IFC could consider
supporting the expansion of grid-based
generation in Haiti. Through its country
based work, IDA is heavily engaged in
supporting reforms to Haiti’s power
sector.

Risk Mitigation Facility Impact. The RMF facility is
expected to provide a wide range of risk
mitigation instruments to
mitigate non-commercial risks in IDA-only
and FCS countries.
HOW?

12.  Keeping a macroeconomic environment stable and
predictable
 Strong over-sight
 Conflict of interest management
 Transparent risk-return sharing
 Operational efficiency. Accountability
 Addressing The Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF) that
facilitates the preparation and structuring of complex
infrastructure public-private partnerships (PPPs) to
enable mobilization of private sector and institutional
investor capital.
HOW?

13. BECAUSE...
“This Agenda (SDG) is a plan of action for people, planet
and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal
peace in larger freedom. We recognize that eradicating
poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme
poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an
indispensable requirement for sustainable development”.
