Audit of USAID/Haiti's Health Infrastructure Program

USAID/Haiti complete its staffing plan by hiring the appropriate number of technical and contracting staff with engineering and construction expertise to manage the mission's infrastructure program properly.

USAID/Haiti consolidate the infrastructure activities under the Office of Infrastructure, Engineering, and Energy.

USAID/Haiti issue a mission order to provide specific guidance on mission policy and procedures for the design, procurement, implementation, and oversight of all infrastructure projects with engineering and construction activities.

USAID/Haiti, in collaboration with the Haitian Government, develop sustainability plans for each of the infrastructure projects that include mechanisms to confirm that the Haitian Government formally commits funds in its official budget that cover the projected costs (both financial and human resources) to maintain and use the project, and include targets that the Haitian Government must meet to indicate progress toward meeting its commitment to fund, maintain, and use the projects.

USAID/Haiti develop a monitoring plan to assess regularly the Haitian Government's progress in meeting the targets in the sustainability plan and a plan of action should targets not be met.

USAID/Haiti update the project implementation letters and Foreign Assistance Act, Section 611 (e) certifications as necessary based on the revised projected operations and maintenance costs and completion of the sustainability plans for each project.
