Haïti: la Banque mondiale approuve un financement supplémentaire de 80 millions de dollars à l’appui des efforts de relèvement post-ouragan

WASHINGTON, 15 juin 2017 — Le Conseil des administrateurs de la Banque mondiale a approuvé trois dons d’un montant total de 80 millions de dollars afin d’appuyer les efforts de redressement d’Haïti après le passage de l’ouragan Matthew. Les objectifs de ces financements supplémentaires sont les suivants : restaurer l’offre et la qualité des services de santé et amplifier les efforts de prévention et de lutte contre le choléra ; garantir la sécurité, la fiabilité et la résilience des services d’alimentation en eau ; et soutenir la production agricole par le biais de subventions et d’activités de travail contre rémunération dans les zones du sud du pays les plus affectées par l’ouragan. « En accordant ces dons, la Banque mondiale s’efforce de tenir son engagement d’aider la population haïtienne à se relever et à mieux faire face aux catastrophes naturelles, » souligne Mary Barton Dock, envoyée spéciale de la Banque mondiale à Haïti. « Alors que les autorités du pays ont commencé à se préparer à la nouvelle saison des ouragans, ce soutien supplémentaire met davantage l’accent sur le renforcement de la résilience dans les secteurs essentiels de l’agriculture, de la santé et de l’eau, et vient cibler les plus démunis. » Selon l’évaluation des besoins post-catastrophe, l’ouragan Matthew a entraîné des pertes dans les secteurs de l’agriculture, de l’élevage et de la pêche estimées à 593 millions de dollars, avec des répercussions durables sur les moyens de subsistance de la population rurale. Bien que les secteurs de l’éducation et de la santé aient été moins touchés, la population a été considérablement affectée par les dommages et l’interruption des services dans les établissements scolaires et sanitaires. Enfin, les services d’eau et d’assainissement, insuffisants depuis longtemps, étaient particulièrement vulnérables aux catastrophes naturelles dans les zones sinistrées : 58 % seulement des Haïtiens ont accès à l’eau  (48 % dans les zones rurales) et 28 % à des installations d’assainissement améliorées (19 % dans les zones rurales).Huit mois après l’ouragan, la reprise est en cours. Une partie de la récolte hivernale a pu être sauvée, tandis qu’environ 8 000 hectares ont été plantés de cultures vivrières diverses aux Anglais et à Dubreuil, Chantal, Avezac et Dory. Grâce aux ressources supplémentaires destinées au secteur agricole, quelque 20 000 agriculteurs seront intégrés dans des chantiers de travail contre rémunération, tandis que plusieurs milliers de producteurs recevront des intrants agricoles, du bétail et un soutien technique, tout en bénéficiant de la remise en état des systèmes d’irrigation. L’ensemble de ces interventions permettra aux agriculteurs de reconstituer leur patrimoine et leurs capacités productives en renforçant parallèlement leur résilience aux aléas climatiques.                                                                                       Le déploiement rapide des opérations d’urgence dans les domaines de l’eau et de l’assainissement et de la santé a entraîné une baisse des décès dus au choléra ainsi que des nouveaux cas suspects. Les ressources supplémentaires destinées au secteur de l’eau et de l’assainissement permettront d’améliorer l’accès à l’eau pour 385 000 habitants des zones sinistrées et les services de santé pour les mères et les enfants. Dans les régions touchées par le choléra, les populations bénéficieront d’une intensification de l’offre de soins ainsi que des efforts de surveillance et de prévention. Enfin, ce financement permettra de réhabiliter totalement 40 équipements sanitaires.   Les trois dons approuvés aujourd’hui relèvent de l’enveloppe de 100 millions de dollars mobilisée par le Mécanisme de riposte aux crises* de l’Association internationale de développement (IDA) afin de soutenir le processus de reconstruction après le passage dévastateur de l’ouragan Matthew. Un don de 20 millions de dollars pour la remise en état des routes et des ponts et le renforcement des capacités d’intervention de la protection civile en cas de catastrophe a déjà été approuvé la semaine dernière. Comment la Banque mondiale contribue au relèvement d’Haïti à la suite de l’ouragan Matthew :                          À la suite de la catastrophe, la Banque mondiale a immédiatement mobilisé plus de 49 millions de dollars sur les ressources déjà allouées à Haïti pour les réorienter d’urgence sur la réfection de routes et de ponts, la réparation d’établissements scolaires et la distribution de repas aux élèves, la remise en état de systèmes d’alimentation en eau et d’assainissement, l’intensification rapide de la lutte contre le choléra, la distribution de semences et d’engrais pour la saison hivernale, et des chantiers de travail contre rémunération pour le nettoyage des canaux d’irrigation. Un don supplémentaire de 30 millions de dollars a été mobilisé un mois après la catastrophe afin d’améliorer la scolarisation et l’apprentissage des élèves des quatre départements du sud du pays ; la Banque mondiale a également engagé une enveloppe totale de 100 millions de dollars à travers le Mécanisme de riposte aux crises* de l’IDA afin de soutenir les populations du Sud les plus touchées et de les aider à se relever et à renforcer leur résilience en agissant dans les secteurs de l’agriculture, de la santé, de l’eau et de l’assainissement, et des transports. * Le Mécanisme de riposte aux crises de l’IDA a été mis en place pour aider les pays à faible revenu à se relever après la survenue d’une grave crise ou catastrophe. —————————- Pour en savoir plus sur les activités de la Banque mondiale en Amérique latine et dans les Caraïbes : www.worldbank.org/lac Rejoignez-nous sur Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/worldbank Suivez notre actualité :          Sur Twitter : @WBCaribbean Sur YouTube : http://www.youtube.com/worldbank

Intervenciones en agua y saneamiento, claves para reducir la desigualdad en las zonas rurales de Panamá

PANAMÁ, 19 de junio de 2017 –  Realizar intervenciones en servicios de agua y saneamiento es crucial para reducir la desigualdad en las zonas rurales de Panamá, señalaron varios expertos en seguridad hídrica al cierre de un evento, organizado por el Grupo Banco Mundial y el Consejo Nacional del Agua (CONAGUA), que reunió a más de 400 personas entre autoridades, representantes del sector privado, la academia y la sociedad civil la semana anterior. Durante el evento, denominado “Semana del Agua de Panamá: Plan Nacional de Seguridad Hídrica 2015-2050: Agua para Todos”, los expertos coincidieron en que para superar los retos en seguridad hídrica en el país se necesita fortalecer una institucionalidad que facilite la gestión de los recursos hídricos y definir e implementar incentivos económicos para mejorar la distribución, el uso del agua y limitar la contaminación. Asimismo, será importante desarrollar sistemas de contratos basados en metas de desempeño que mejoren la eficiencia en la provisión de servicios de agua y saneamiento, señalaron los expertos durante el evento, en el cual se expusieron experiencias de otros países como Chile, Ecuador, España, México y Perú. El Ministro de Ambiente, Emilio Sempris, destacó que el agua es un tema prioritario en la agenda del Gobierno y la creación del CONAGUA es un paso decisivo en el fortalecimiento de la gobernabilidad de los recursos hídricos del país. A su vez, agradeció el apoyo del Grupo Banco Mundial al Gobierno de Panamá en la implementación de las acciones para hacer del Plan Nacional de Seguridad Hídrica una realidad. Por su parte, la Ministra de Gobierno, María Luisa Romero, señaló que “este Plan Nacional representa la hoja de ruta solidaria que como país debemos ejecutar para que el agua mejore nuestra calidad de vida” y agregó que “no siempre reconocemos el valor del agua como elemento esencial del desarrollo humano sostenible”. El evento, que duró cuatro días, incluyó una visita de campo a la provincia de Colón, que permitió ver la modernización de los servicios de agua potable y mejor calidad de los servicios de agua potable, resultado del proyecto Metro Agua, financiado por el Banco Mundial y ejecutado por el Instituto de Acueductos y Alcantarillados Nacionales (IDAAN). “El agua es un eje fundamental en la economía panameña”, señaló Anabela Abreu, Representante del Banco Mundial en Panamá, quien destacó que “los retos en este sector son cada vez más fuertes e incluyen aspectos como la competencia por el uso del agua o las consecuencias del cambio climático”. Para enfrentar estos retos, agregó Abreu, “además del Plan Nacional de Seguridad Hídrica que ha desarrollado el Gobierno, se requerirá un esfuerzo conjunto, no solo de las instituciones públicas, sino también del sector privado, los gremios y la sociedad, para poder lograr soluciones eficaces”. Por su parte, David Michaud, Gerente de la Práctica Global de Agua del Banco Mundial, recordó que “la cultura del agua es un trabajo de todos y de todos los días”. Según el Diagnóstico Sistemático de País, elaborado por el Banco Mundial, en Panamá las áreas con mayor pobreza coinciden con las que tienen menos provisión de agua. El documento también señala que en las escuelas hay menos ausentismo en las regiones donde hay acceso a agua y saneamiento. Las jornadas de la Semana del Agua fueron complementadas por una sesión universitaria co-auspiciada por la Facultad de Ingeniería Civil de la Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá para sensibilizar a los jóvenes sobre la importancia del agua en el desarrollo del país y los retos que enfrenta este sector.Para conocer el trabajo del Banco Mundial en América Latina y el Caribe visite: www.bancomundial.org/alcVisítenos en Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/bancomundialManténgase informado via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/BancoMundialLACNuestro canal de YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/BancoMundialLAC

World Bank Approves Additional US$80 Million for Haiti’s Hurricane Recovery

WASHINGTON, June 15, 2017— The World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors approved three grants totaling US$80 million for hurricane recovery efforts. The additional financing aims to restore the quality and supply of health services and scale up cholera prevention and response; secure safe, reliable and resilient water supply services; and sustain agricultural production through farming subsidy and cash for works schemes in hurricane affected areas in the South of Haiti. “With the approval of these grants, the World Bank is striving to fulfill its commitment to the people of Haiti to help them recover and be more resilient to natural disasters,” said Mary Barton Dock, the World Bank’s Special Envoy for Haiti. “As the government has started to prepare for the new hurricane season, this additional support puts a greater emphasis on strengthening resilience of essential agriculture, health and water services and target those most in need”. According to the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment, losses in agriculture, livestock and fishing was estimated at US$ 593 million, with a long term impact on the livelihoods of the rural population. While the education and health sectors were less impacted, the population was significantly affected by the interruption of services and destruction of schools and health centers. Water services and sanitation have long been lacking and were particularly vulnerable to natural disasters in these areas: only 58 percent of Haitians have access to water (48 percent in rural areas) and 28 percent to improved sanitation (19 percent in rural areas).Eight months after the hurricane, recovery is under way. Part of the winter harvest was saved and about 8,000 hectares have been planted with various food crop for the spring harvest in Les Anglais, Dubreuil, Chantal, D’Avezac, and Dory. Through the additional financing in agriculture, about 20,000 farmers will receive cash for work, and thousands of producers will receive agricultural inputs, livestock, technical support, and benefit from restored irrigation systems. This will contribute to rebuild their assets and productive capacities under more climate resilient conditions. Rapid scaled-up response in water and sanitation interventions, and in health resulted in a decrease in suspected new cases of cholera and in cholera related deaths. Through the additional financing in health and water, about 385,000 Haitians living in affected areas will get improved access to water; mothers and children will have access to improved health services; communities in cholera affected areas will benefit from intensified surveillance, prevention efforts and treatment; and 40 health facilities will be rehabilitated and fully functioning.   These grants are part of the US$100 million package of support mobilized by the International Development Association’s (IDA) Crisis Response Window* for reconstruction after the devastating impact of Hurricane Matthew. A US$20 million grant to rehabilitate roads and bridges, and strengthen the disaster risk management capacity of the civil protection teams was already approved last week. Background on how the World Bank is helping Haiti recover from Hurricane Matthew: In the immediate aftermath, the World Bank mobilized more than US$49 million from existing resources for emergency efforts including rehabilitation of roads and bridges, school repairs and school meals, rehabilitation of water systems and emergency sanitation, scaling up a rapid cholera response, distribution of seeds and fertilizer for the winter planting season, and cash to repair irrigation canals. An additional US$30 million grant was mobilized a month after the storm to improve learning and enrollment of students in the four departments of Southern Haiti, and a total of US$100 million was pledged from IDA’s Crisis Response Window to support the most affected population in the South in recovering and improving resilience in the agriculture, health, water and sanitation, and transport sectors. * The IDA Crisis Response Window is designed to help low-income countries recover from severe disasters and crises. ———————————– Learn more about the work of the World Bank in Latin America and the Caribbean: www.worldbank.org/lac Visit us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/worldbank Be updated via: Twitter: @WBCaribbean YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/worldbank
