Haiti is a highly fragile state with development complexities and growth challenges that greatly exceed those of other countries in the Caribbean and the Western Hemisphere. With formal entry into the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) as a Borrowing Member Country (BMC) on January 19, 2007, CDB, along with other important development partners, at both the multilateral and bilateral levels, has sought to buttress country effort in lifting Haiti out of poverty. Given Haiti’s development indicators, support from CDB has been through the provision of grants on a set-aside basis within the context of the Bank’s Special Development Funds (SDF).
