Empowering Municipalities in Haiti to plan for, manage and respond to the impacts of climate change

The document is a readiness support proposal for the Republic of Haiti, requesting $449,149.00 over 24 months to empower municipalities in Bazinet, Belle-Ansa, Iron Coast, Jamel, and Margot. The project aims to address gaps in uncoordinated development planning, limited participation in national processes, and ineffective institutional capacity for adaptation and mitigation. Key activities include the creation of a Climate Knowledge Toolkit, conducting Comprehensive Vulnerability and Needs Assessments, and developing climate risk/disaster management plans. The initiative is designed to align local actions with Haiti's National Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Policy to Fight Against Climate Change (PNCC), ultimately producing one GCF concept note for resilience and mitigation actions.

• Haiti is highly vulnerable to climate hazards, with over 96% of its population exposed to natural hazards such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts.
• The project targets five specific municipalities for capacity building and vulnerability assessments: Bazinet, Belle-Ansa, Iron Coast, Jamel, and Margot.
• Local governments in Haiti face several critical barriers, including uncoordinated development and climate risk planning, limited participation in national planning, and ineffective institutional capacity for implementing adaptation and mitigation.
• The proposal requests a total of $449,149.00 to be implemented over a 24-month period.
• A primary output of the project is the development of a Climate Knowledge Toolkit and training materials to guide local adaptation and mitigation actions.
• The project will conduct Comprehensive Vulnerability and Needs Assessments in four selected communities to prioritize response options in sectors including Waste Management, Coastal and Marine, Health, and Financial.
• The initiative aims to support Haiti's NDC targets, which include increasing the share of renewable energies in the electricity system to 47% by 2030.
• The project will produce one GCF concept note reflecting resilience building and mitigation actions to help mobilize future funds.
• The Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) will serve as the implementing institution and delivery partner, managing fiduciary and financial operations.
