Additional Financing - Haiti Caribbean Air Transport Connectivity Project

active

The objective of the Project (PDO) is to: (i) improve operational safety and navigation efficiency of air transport in the Recipient’s territory; and (ii) increase the climate and disaster resilience of associated infrastructure at the Recipient’s international airports.Given the interdependence of Caribbean nations with respect to air transport sector, CATCOP will deploy a regional approach through the Series of Projects (SOP) instrument. In addition to Haiti, several other countries including St-Lucia, Dominica and Grenada have agreed to participate and all support the common objective of improving regional air transport connectivity and, as such, are seeking IDA financing for targeted country-specific critical investments and technical assistance related to improving safety and resilience. The proposed Project would include five components: (i) PAP and CAP operational safety and navigation efficiency investments; (ii) PAP and CAP airfield drainage system improvements; (iii) Technical Assistance; (iv) Contingent Emergency Response; and (v) Project Management. Total Project cost is estimated at US$96 million including proposed AF.
