IDB Helps Haiti

The IDB has extended a $25m grant to Haiti so the country can improve its roads in the southwestern departments. The program is also receiving support from a C$75m grant from Canada. The grant is part of a four-phase IDB program to provide Haiti with $100m to rehabilitate roads in its southern peninsula. An initial $25m grant, approved last year, is already financing several projects in that region, according to the bank.
