To leverage and manage resources

Over the past year, we have significantly expanded the resource base of our program in Haiti, including new partners such as the European Union, etc. We have also secured more diverse funding, including from WPHF, to better address evolving needs on the ground. The program management capacity has also been strengthened to ensure effective implementation as activities develop. We estimate that we have achieved between 75 and 85% of our resource mobilization and management strengthening goals for this strategic period. With increasing momentum, we are on track to meet or exceed these objectives, allowing us to fully respond to the growing demands of programming aimed at promoting gender equality in Haiti.
