Terms and Conditions:
UNOPS has been working in Haiti for 18 years with the Haitian Government, other United Nations agencies and international organizations to support them in project management, procurement and logistics services. UNOPS also provides communication and governance support, as well as technical expertise in engineering and infrastructure for the implementation of projects that have a positive impact on the lives of Haitians. Over the past few years, the operation center in Haiti has mainly implemented major infrastructure projects (roads, schools, energy), health-related procurement such as medical equipment and ambulances, and management support to the government.
Haiti’s healthcare facilities have faced considerable challenges due to an underdeveloped health system and an unreliable electricity supply, issues that were magnified during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the MSPP, MTPTC, and the World Bank, in collaboration with the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), assessed various healthcare facilities to identify those needing urgent power supply improvements.
As part of this initiative, hybrid energy systems were installed in five hospitals across Haiti, significantly improving energy access for these healthcare centers. This effort not only enhanced the reliability of power supply in these facilities but also helped develop a comprehensive strategy for implementing sustainable energy solutions throughout the country.
Project-Specific Information:
Building on this experience, a new agreement has been signed between the World Bank (WB), the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP), and UNOPS to develop hybrid energy systems and retrofit the electrical distribution in two additional hospitals. This partnership also opens the door for discussing a new portfolio of investments in the energy sector, aimed at implementing more renewable energy projects across the country. This initiative underscores a commitment to enhancing Haiti’s energy infrastructure and expanding access to sustainable energy solutions.
