Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
The program’s overall objective is to contribute to the economic development of Northern Haiti. The specific objective is to create formal employments in the North and Northeast Departments of Haiti by providing the necessary infrastructure for the establishment of firms in the Parc Industriel de Caracol (PIC). The operation will continue the investments initiated by HA-L1055, HA-L1076, HA-L1081 and HA-L1091 in the Industrial Park of Caracol. This operation will provide the basic infrastructure, industrial facilities, management support and complementary investments required for the expansion and sustainable operation of the Industrial Park of Caracol. This operation is classified as Category A. The potential risks of the program are related to: (i) deterioration of water quality; (ii) ecological degradation of the mangrove ecosystem; (iii) cumulative impacts in the Northern corridor resulting from population influx; and (iv) negative impacts on local livelihoods.
Investment Description

The IDB will be investing a total of US $70,346, 534 in this project, US $15,346,534 through the Haiti Reconstruction Fund, and US$55,000,000 through the IDB Grant Facility (see related project HA-L1091).

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IADB The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
