For more information, visit International Bank for Reconstruction and Development Background The central contribution of the HNP Global Practice to the World Bank's twin goals is to enable the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), in which all people are effectively covered by essential health services, and nobody suffers undue financial hardship as a result of illness. The HNP Global Practice covering the Latin America and the Caribbean Region is managed by one Practice Manager, and works across sectors to deliver on health, nutrition and population outcomes. Haiti is the only fragile state in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region. Political instability and gang violence have limited the movement of goods and people, and the health system faces recurrent stockouts of essential medicines and supplies, disrupted transport and distribution, weak institutional capacity and heavy dependence on external financing. The World Bank has a longstanding health portfolio in Haiti, under implementation by the Ministry of Public Health and Population’s (MSPP) Project Management Unit (UGP). The Health Optimization and Preparation for Pandemic Emergency in Haiti project (HOPE, P512436) is under preparation in close partnership with the Global Fund, the Global Financing Facility (GFF), with Project effectiveness expected for early 2027. This Project includes significant investments and coordination with key sector partners, particularly with the Global Fund, in supply chain of health products.
