    SUBJECT: CANADA ANNOUNCES NEW HEALTH FUNDING FOR HAITI

    ¶1. (U) Summary:  International Cooperation Minister Josee
    Verner recently announced that the Canadian International
    Development Agency (CIDA) will commit over C$45 million for
    new health-related development projects in Haiti: C$18.75
    million to support the development of Haiti's health system;
    C$17.5 million to support immunizations; and C$9.2 million in
    response to the United Nations Transitional Appeal.  Verner
    also indicated that Canada would provide another C$20 million
    for a financial insurance mechanism in the Caribbean in the
    event of natural disasters.  The announcement received praise
    from GOH Minister of Planning and Foreign Cooperation
    Bellerive.  The funding is part of the C$520 million
    commitment Canada made at last July's Port-au-Prince
    conference to support the Haitian government's development
    efforts.  End Summary.

    ¶2. (U) During her official visit to Haiti in late February,
    International Development Minister Verner announced several
    GoC initiatives to facilitate access to health services to
    vulnerable segments of the Haitian people, including women,
    and to offer basic services in health, prevention and
    protection of human rights.  The money is earmarked for three
    major projects.

    ¶3. (U) C$18.75 million will go, over five years, to the
    Health System Development Support Project (PADESS) to
    contribute to the development of Haiti's health system,
    especially in the departments of Artibonite, Nippes, the
    Southeast and Northeast.  PADESS is to strengthen Haiti's
    Ministry of Public Health and Population's regulatory role
    and will develop a vision shared by health sector
    participants, including the GoH, the private sector,
    religious communities, and Haitian and international
    voluntary organizations.  The project includes C$5 million to
    support initiatives of Canadian partners to deliver basic
    health services.

    ¶4. (U) C$17.5 million, over five years, has been allocated to
    Haiti's Expanded Vaccination Support Program (PAPEV) to
    reduce infant morality.  PAPEV is sub-divided into three
    components:

    -- C$15 million to support a Pan American Health Organization
    (PAHO) and the United Nations International Children's
    Emergency Fund (UNICEF) program to build capacity and
    coordinate the work of the organizations giving the
    vaccinations;
    -- C$1 million to the International Development Research
    Center (IDRC) for research to improve the health system's
    delivery of immunization programs;
    -- C$1.5 million to support an initiative involving Haiti,
    Brazil, and Canada to strengthen the Ministry of Public
    Health and Population's Expanded Vaccination Program and
    improve the delivery of vaccines through a refrigerated
    distribution chain.

    ¶5. (U) C$9.2 million will go to the United Nations Appeal to
    Support Haiti's Stabilization to promote equality between men
    and women and social peace in Haiti.  The money will be spent
    on six initiatives:

    -- C$5 million for PAHO for free obstetrical care for poor
    pregnant women;
    -- C$520,000 to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
    for human rights protection for people living in vulnerable
    situations;
    -- C$1.2 million to the UNFPA to support women and girls who
    are victims of sexual violence;
    -- C$920,000 to the United Nations Food and Agriculture
    Organization for horticulture projects in the urban areas of
    Port-au-Prince and Jeremie;
    -- C$1.4 million to the United Nations Development Program
    (UNDR) to support human development in the Haiti-Dominican
    Q(UNDR) to support human development in the Haiti-Dominican
    Republic frontier zone;
    -- C$125,000 to the UNDP for coordinating humanitarian and
    relief efforts and C$50,000 to monitor results.

    ¶6. (U) Minister Verner also announced that Canada is donating
    C$20 million to a World Bank initiative to establish the
    Catastrophic Risk Management Facility (CCRIF) in the
    Caribbean region which will enable CARICOM governments to
    purchase coverage similar to business interruption insurance
    to provide immediate cash payments after a major earthquake
    or hurricane.  This facility will be particularly useful to
    finance the immediate post disaster recovery and give
    governments time to mobilize additional resources for
    longer-term reconstruction.
