INTERNATIONAL DONORS
CONFERENCE TO RAISE
FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR
HAITI'S RECOVERY
An International Donors Conference on Haiti
will be held on July 19 and 20, 2004 at the World Bank in Washington DC to
raise funding from the donor community for Haiti's urgent and medium-term
economic, social and political needs. Over the past two months, under the
leadership of the Government of Haiti, international and national donors and
experts have prepared an assessment of Haiti's priority needs. Known as the
Interim Cooperation Framework, this assessment, which details the
Government's financial needs and priority programs over the next two years,
will form the basis for technical discussions on July 19th and a
Ministerial-level pledging conference on July 20. The Interim Cooperation
Framework report will be released to the public on July 13, 2004. The donors
conference is co-hosted by the European Commission, the Inter-American
Development Bank, the United Nations, and the World Bank.
Accredited members of the media are cordially
invited to attend both the technical discussions and the Ministerial
pledging conference.
