The operation would provide income generation from sustainable agriculture, while promoting conservation of Haiti's declining natural resources.

The project would link multiple investors to stabilize and rehabilitate selected watersheds throughout Haiti with the means to augement agriculture income and to provide institutional support to implement a national watershed management strategy. The loan is currently in the "identification stage."
