Haiti - Urban Community Driven Development Project / PRODEPUR

closed

The Urban Community Driven Development Project (PRODEPUR) development objective for Government of Haiti (GoH) is to improve access to and satisfaction with: (a) basic and social infrastructures and services, and (b) income-generating opportunities for residents of targeted disadvantaged urban areas. This objective will be achieved through a participatory process in which CBOs propose, select, implement, and maintain subprojects. The key indicators for this project will include: (a) increased access to water in disadvantaged urban areas that selected such subprojects (that is, water kiosks, standpipes, community cisterns, rainwater capture, and so forth); (b) increased access to sanitation in disadvantaged urban areas that selected such subprojects (that is, garbage collection, solid waste disposal, recycling, composting, sanitary blocks, and so forth); and (c) increased access to rehabilitated street and drainage infrastructure in disadvantaged urban areas that selected such subprojects (that is, clear and rehabilitated drainage canals, ditches, rehabilitated street and/or footpaths, and so forth). There are three components to the project. The first component of the project community subproject funding, management, and support will finance: (a) small-scale socioeconomic infrastructure and productive/income-generating subprojects; and (b) contracting of service providers. The first component of the project capacity building and technical assistance will finance: (a) training-of-trainer events; (b) capacity-building and technical assistance; (c) workshops with service providers to harmonize practices to accompany Community-Based Organization (CBO) and Project Development Councils in carrying out the activities under Component 1; (d) training of Bureau de Monetisation staff in order to effectively supervise overall project implementation; (e) various consultant services; and (f) policy dialogue to engage GoH and other relevant stakeholders on a medium to long term national strategy to facilitate the mainstreaming of the urban community-driven development (CDD) approach and mechanisms. The third component of the project administration, supervision, and monitoring and evaluation will finance incremental costs associated with project implementation, administration, supervision, and monitoring and evaluation by the Bureau de Monetisation through its project coordination unit, which operates under the oversight of the ministry of economy and finance.
