HAITI: Strengthening of Agriculture Public Services Project

Environmental and Social Framework

 

A.     Introduction

 

MARNDR
MARNDR
1. This environmental and social framework (ESF) outlines the approaches proposed for the mitigation of potential environmental and social impacts as a result of the implementation of the Haiti Strengthening of Agriculture Public Services Project. This ESF will be available for public consultation (in English and French) through the MARNDR’s webpage (http://agriculture.gouv.ht). The ESF has been prepared in accordance with the applicable national regulations as well as the World Bank’s environmental and social policies (safeguard policies) applicable to all World Bank operations and designed to avoid, mitigate or minimize adverse environmental and social impacts of projects supported by the Bank.

 

2. Project Description. The project development objective (PDO) is to improve the capacity of MARNDR to deliver agriculture public services, in particular in times of crisis, through: (i) prioritization and targeting of investments in the sector; and (ii) improving1 local agriculture support services2. The Project is an IDA-funded Specific Investment Grant of US$5 million equivalent. Key indicators for the project would be: (i) the validation by the GTA3 of an agriculture sector policy; (ii) the change in the number of farmers receiving local agricultural services in pilot areas; and (iii) the change in the MARNDR’s non-salary operating budget commitment rate4. The proposed project represents the first stage of an expected fifteen to twenty-year engagement with Haiti on the agriculture public sector reform dialogue and development. The end goal would be that the Government, through MARNDR, regain the stewardship of the public sector resources going to agriculture, fulfilling its normative and regulatory and coordinating mandate.
