Prime Minister Garry Conille announced via his X account (formerly Twitter) this Monday, July 1, 2024, a financing of $40 million granted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for this year. This financial aid aims to support Haiti in its development efforts and to respond to the country’s current priorities, particularly in view of the upcoming elections.
In his message, Garry Conille expressed his gratitude to the IDB for its continued commitment to Haiti. “I thank the Inter-American Development Bank @the_IDB for its commitment to Haiti and the provision of $40 million for this year,” he wrote. This financial support comes at a crucial time for the country, as it prepares for important elections.
The Prime Minister also stressed the importance of reviewing the portfolio of IDB-funded projects to align them with the government’s new priorities ahead of the elections. This is to ensure that funds are used optimally to address the country’s most pressing needs.
This initiative aims not only to optimize the use of available funds, but also to attract more international support for crucial development projects. The Prime Minister also stressed the importance of collaboration with the private sector.
In addition to the portfolio review, Prime Minister Conille announced a major fundraising meeting for Haiti. This meeting is likely aimed at raising additional funds to support projects in Haiti.
The Inter-American Development Bank has always been a strategic partner for Haiti, providing financial and technical support for various development projects. This new commitment of $40 million is part of a long tradition.
