IFC in Haiti

IFC’s strategy focuses on catalyzing private sector development through an integrated approach providing investments and advisory services. Since 2000, IFC has committed $51 million to Haiti’s private sector. IFC’s strategy in Haiti seeks to promote job creation and increase access to basic services. We are expanding our activities in Haiti and recently opened a local office.

IFC aims to increase access to finance for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), to facilitate private sector participation in infrastructure development, and to leverage donor support to strengthen the investment climate. IFC’s programs encourage human capital development, emphasizing training and basic business skills in Haiti. Key sectors include:

• Financial markets, including access to finance for MSMEs and low- income individuals
• Infrastructure
• Manufacturing
• Agribusiness
• Tourism
