Project profile — Improved Aid Effectiveness: External Assistance Management Module

This project aims to endow the Haitian government of an External Assistance Management Module. The module is a web-based interactive database on funding, in-kind contributions, and projects/programs funded by the international community. The module is the main tool of the Haitian government to implement the coordination framework in order to improve the planning, management, monitoring and evaluation of foreign aid, and its integration into the budget process in Haiti in order to promote transparency and accountability of funds. The module enables the government to make informed decisions and allocate resources where they are most needed.

The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (i) better informed decisions by the government; (ii) more effective, more efficient and more transparent use of public resources.

Results achieved as of March 2013 include: the module was put online and is use for collecting data on foreign aid; online reports by donor country and by sector are available and bi-annual information bulletins are dissiminated. These have contributed to enable : (i) better informed decisions by the government; (ii) more effective, more efficient and more transparent use of public resources.
