The Republic of Haiti joined the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) in 2007. Ever since, CDB
Management recognized that for a better understanding of the circumstances/development challenges in
Haiti, to better adapt aid to the local situation and to more successfully administer the programme of activities
there, it would require the Bank to eventually establish a permanent in-country presence.
The CDB Haiti Country Office (HCO), the first Office outside Barbados, was established in 2018 to deepen
CDB’s efforts to contribute meaningfully to the transformation and sustainability of the Haitian economy and
to assist Haiti’s further integration into CARICOM.

The Office coordinates the Bank’s aid and builds
strategic partnerships within the country. HCO’s mandate includes a) monitoring and facilitating the
implementation of interventions; b) strengthening partnerships; c) developing closer relationships and
facilitating information sharing with the Government of Haiti (GOH), development partners and other
stakeholders; d) improving communication with, and responsiveness to, various stakeholders; and e)
participating in working and discussion groups in the relevant national priority sectors.
The progress and scaling-up of the operational programme for Haiti continue to be a key focus of CDB who
has committed to further supporting Haiti, considering the country’s fragility, special development needs,
and its strategic importance for the Bank. The establishment of HCO has provided valuable in-country
support by establishing relationships and becoming familiar with the Haitian context, challenges and
opportunities.

The Office has enabled the Bank to forge closer contacts with key local stakeholders (national
authorities, NGOs, civil society and the private sector), and participate more effectively in policy formulation
and donor coordination.
Currently, CDB-HCO has a small staff complement of three (3) professionals: (i) the Country Representative,
(ii) an Operations Officer and (iii) an Administrative Assistant. HCO intends progressively, for improved
operations, to augment its human resources, and seeks to recruit a Local Specialist in Education & Training.
