ObjectivesFund scope
The Southern Peninsula of Haiti is vulnerable to natural hazards, including hurricanes, floods, landslides, droughts, and earthquakes. The 7.2 magnitude earthquake of August 2021 ravished the Southern Peninsula, hitting residents of rural mountainous areas the hardest. Negative outcomes were in multiples: Landslides, destroyed property (rural and city centres), collapse of urban buildings and rural constructions made from light materials, and the regrettable loss of human life.
To improve crisis mitigation and management measures related to disasters (man-made, climate change-induced, or environmental), stakeholders established the Haiti MPTF and aligned fund action with Integrated Recovery Plan of the Southern Peninsula strategic aims to improve emergency recovery needs according to the four priority areas of recovery governance; economic recovery; resilient infrastructure and living conditions, and inclusion and social protection. Efforts have been made to ensure consistency between the Integrated Recovery Plan and new Humanitarian Response Plan—linking development, humanitarian, and recovery action and pursuing them in the most systematic and localized ways.
Each fund project has its own performance framework based on four principles of results-based management:
- Result 1: Participatory, inclusive recovery governance mechanisms that integrate gender equality, qualify inter-sector links between interventions, and allow for capitalization and close coordination between interventions.
- Result 2: Economic recovery secures the sustainability of value chains, use of new and appropriate technologies and effective economic governance mechanisms, as well as the development of human capacities and support services.
- Result 3: The conservation of natural resources and risk-sensitive land management to reduce physical infrastructure vulnerability to natural hazards.
- Result 4: Social protection programs that strengthen people’s resilience to disasters and climate shocks in communities, including the most vulnerabilities.
Drawing on lessons learned from past emergency responses and the analysis of stakeholder comparative advantages, Fund interventions have been categorized as top priorities in the PRIPS action plan.
Theory of change
IF recovery governance measures ensure close coordination of local authorities and communities through participatory and inclusive mechanisms that integrate gender equality, as well as intersectoral links between interventions, prevent duplication, and allow capitalization between projects and programs; and IF economic recovery enables the sustainability of value chains, use of new and appropriate technologies, the efficient and effective uptake of economic governance mechanisms, development of human capacities and support services, and the strengthening of the financial sector, THEN these will help increase recovery and resilience levels in communities across the country through collaborative action.
Furthermore, if risks and vulnerabilities of physical infrastructure to natural hazards are reduced by the conservation of natural resources and risk-sensitive land management, and social protection projects strengthen the resilience to disasters and climate shocks of communities most exposed to vulnerabilities, THEN recovery and resilience to multiple and complex hazards will be ensured by adopting innovative and sustainable approaches based on inclusive and coordinated processes.
All interventions under the Haiti MPTF contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They are based on the principles of “leave no one behind,” social inclusion, respect for human rights, gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, and securing durability and resilience by addressing intersectional issues that pose social, economic, and environmental risks.
