Delegated cooperation in Haiti

This program has a total financing of 4 million euro, of which 1 million corresponds to a donation from Spain through the Water Fund, and 3 million corresponds to funds delegated by the EU.

URBAYITI is based on the principle of coordination between donors -AECID and the European Union- and Spain was chosen to manage the project because it is one of the leading donors to the water and sanitation sector in the country, generating a close relationship with the National Directorate of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DINEPA) of the state.

The objective is to strengthen the resilience of cities and urban populations by improving access to essential services and creating the conditions for water supply and sanitation compatible with the integrated development approach in the area. Specifically, work is being done to improve access to essential services in Port-au-Prince, Jérémie, and Les Cayes. It is expected that 7,350 people will benefit from new access to drinking water and approximately 2,000 from sanitation services. The intervention also includes rehabilitating and constructing sanitary blocks in schools, markets, health centers, and other community facilities.
