To reduce economic and environmental vulnerability in Haiti, USAID initiated the Watershed Initiative for National Natural Environmental Resources (WINNER) Program. This program seeks to increase agricultural productivity and generate alternative income sources; improve critical infrastructure; and reduce the risk of flooding by stabilizing hillsides to restore the plain’s irrigation capacity. A key feature of the program is the $100 million Watershed Investment Fund.

The fund will support key watershed activities, help build capacity, and collaborate with other projects and donors.

This audit will determine whether USAID/Haiti’s WINNER Program is reducing economic and environmental vulnerability in Haiti.
