Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On January 22, 2010, China granted $250,000 for the WASH emergency response program following the earthquake in Haiti. The purpose of the grant is to reduce health risks related to unsafe water, lack of sanitation and poor hygiene practices for affected populations, particularly children and women. There are also goals to provide immediate support to WASH cluster in Haiti, to monitor and respond to immediate WASH needs along Malpasse - Croix de Bouquet corridor in collaboration with key WASH partners in Dominican Republic, and to support WASH activities for earthquake affected people in Haiti close to the border with Dominican Republic, guaranteeing children are accessing WASH services in a safe environment. WASH stands for water, sanitation, and hygiene. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) helped with project execution. The total amount committed to the project was $55,433,513, and $13,313,017 was actually disbursed. 100% of the Chinese government's financing was disbursed. Other countries and organizations that provided funds actually disbursed to the project included the Government of the Czech Republic, the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund, the Government of Denmark, the Government of Austria, and the Government of Japan.
