About this facility

Mission: from website: Mission Statement
The mandate of the Interim Commission for the Reconstruction of Haiti (CIRH) shall be to conduct strategic planning and coordination and implement resources from bilateral and multilateral donors, non-governmental organizations, and the business sector, with all necessary transparency and accountability. The CIRH shall work to optimize the investments and contributions of these entities. The CIRH shall be responsible for continuously developing and refining development plans for Haiti, assessing needs and gaps and establishing investment priorities. It shall approve project proposals based on their consistency and coordination with the Haiti Action Plan. While it shall be able to draw up and solicit projects that fit within the priorities of the Haiti Action Plan, it shall decide on the eligibility of external submissions. The CIRH shall operate within the framework of the State of Emergency Law. Consequently, it shall be vested with the powers necessary to conduct its activities. It shall ensure the expeditious implementation of development projects and priorities, including facilitating the issuance of property titles and permits for the construction of hospitals, power generation systems, ports, and other economic development projects. In order to facilitate the rapid and effective implementation of the priorities and projects approved by the CIRH, the relevant ministries shall appoint members of their staff to work in the CIRH. Given the critical and immediate importance of identifying and mobilizing land for the purpose of relocating displaced populations, building long-term housing and schools, and creating jobs, the individuals appointed for such purpose by the Ministry of Economy and Finance shall be given the necessary authorities to examine applications and issue property titles requested by the CIRH within 15 business days. The CIRH shall provide the relevant ministries with the international technical assistance necessary so that they may strengthen their capacities to fulfill their mandate in relation to development priorities and projects effectively and promptly.
