To develop the North, the Bank partnered with multiple entities allowing for a coordinated investment program
to rebalance the economy. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) focused industrial development of the
industrial park Caracol, developing a textile growth pole, water and sanitation, and solid waste management in
Cap Haïtien. The US aimed to invest in the development of the port, while the Bank focused on transport, urban
development, cultural heritage preservation, and tourism development. The transport projects, among others,
connected Cap Haïtien to the center of the country and to Milot, where the entrance to the PNH-CSSR is located.
The municipal and urban resilience project focused on reducing urban flooding and access to municipal
infrastructure. The Cultural Heritage Preservation and Tousim Sector Support Project (Projet de Préservation du
Patrimoine et d’Appui au Secteur Touristique – PAST) would complement this by enhancing the main attraction
of the North: the national park and its monuments and promoting tourism development by strengthening
tourism-related services and infrastructure.
