The IDBG Country Strategy for the period 2017-20211 will seek to contribute to higher, inclusive and more sustainable growth that supports a reduction in poverty and inequalities. The Strategy has three strategic priorities that will guide sovereign and non-sovereign guaranteed operations in Haiti: (i) improve the business climate to enhance productivity; (ii) render key public services more accessible to enhance human development; and (iii) strengthen government capacity to increase fiscal sustainability. Bank support will incorporate cross-cutting themes that are key to Haiti’s overall stability and poverty reduction, particularly climate change resilience, protection of the environment, and gender equality.
