CREDIT AND PROJECT SUMMARY Borrower: Government of Haiti Implementint Directorate of Natural Resources (DRN) of the Ministry of Afencios: Minis.try of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development (MARNDR); and Bureau of Mines and Energy (BME) of the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications. Beneficiaries: Farmers within and in the surrounding buffer zones of national parks and forests; urban consumers of wood-based fuels; general population through the strengthening of natural resource protection mechanisms. Amount: SDR 19.7 million (US$26.1 million equivalent). Terms: 40 years, including 10 years of grace, with a 0.75% annual service charge. Project The objective of the project would be to slow the pace of Objectives: degradation of Haiti's natural resources by: (a) protecting the remaining forests and safeguarding vital ecosystems from further destruction; (b) increasing wood production through the promotion of agroforestry on farms, and improved management of State Forest lands; and (c) reducing the pressure on vegetation for charcoal production through conservation of woodfuels used by urban households. The project would build the institutional and policy framework for Haiti's Tropical Forestry Action Plan through which complementary efforts would be made to redress Haiti's natural resource destruction, as implementation capacity develops. Brief The project would provide technical and financial support PescriDtion: for: (a) the institutional strengthening of the NARNDR's Directorate of Natural Resources and its Forestry and Environmental Protection Services, and for training in forestry and agroforestry; (b) specific programs to promote .:ee planting and soil conservation, improve the management of forest reserves, expand forestry and agroforestry research, establish and manage national parks and biosphere reserves, and monitor land use in Haiti; and (c) promotion by the Bureau of Mines and Energy of more efficient charcoal stoves in urban areas.  Afnefita: Project benefits consist of: (i) Incremental aZroforestry production (wood and crops) and income from the farms served by the projet's extension services; (ii) maintenance and development of timber resources in the Pine Forest Reserve, which would virtually disappear without the type of support provided by the project; and (iii) reduction of demand for domestic charcoal, and thereby the pressure to cut trees in Haiti, through the introduction of more efficient stoves. In addition, the overall framework for the development and protection of forest resources and forest ecosystems would be improved, while the development of institutions, technology and approach to agroforestry would lay the ground for more ambitiius programs at a later stage. Risks: The main risks of the project relate to: (i) uncertain political stability which may impact on continued Government commitment to its declared development strategy, project funding, and efficient management of the implementing agencies; and (ii) institutional weaknesses which would constrain the ability to reform the regulatory framework. To -inimiza the risks, the project's objectives and scale of o;,rations have been kept in line with the institutional reality in spite of the unquestionable need to progress more vapidly; technical assistance would be hired where local expertise is not available; funding of local salaries by the project would be done Lin a declining basis; annual work programs and budgets would be approved by IDA; and a mid- term review of the project would be used to redesign the project as required.

BACKGROUND The Country 2.01 Haiti covers the western third of the Hispaniola island in the Caribbean, and has a land area of 27,700 km2. Much of the land is mountainous, with steep slopes and rugged terrain restricting agriculture, transport and communications. Only about 15% of the land areas is reasonably flat. Climate is tropical, with temperatures averaging 240C. Rainfall is irregular and generally occurs in two rainy seasons. It varies between 400 mm in coastal and low lying areas and over 3,000 mm in the high mountains. Periodic severe droughts and occasional hurricanes exacerbate the climatic instability. In spite of the relative uniformity of Haiti's geology, soil qualities vary widely and range from skeletal soils on steep slopes to deep soils of several meters in the flat areas, in particular in the central savanna. 2.02 Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere with a per capita GNP of US$400 in 1989. It, population is estimated at 6.2 million (1987) and grows at an annual rate of 1.7Z. About 752 live in rural areas, mostly employed in agricultural activities. The overall population density is 223 persons per km2, one of the highest in the Western Hemisphere. The main urban areas are the capital Port-au-Prince and Cap Haitien in the north with combined population of about 1.2 million. The population in the countryside is not evenly distributed. For historical and land tenure reasons, some high potential areas in the plains are underpopulated and underused, whereas population density is very heavy in certain hilly and mountainous zones where soils are poor. The Economy 2.03 Haiti's economy, after a decade of stagnation in real per capita growth until 1985, improved its performance in 1986 and mos_: of 1987, following a major change of political regime and structural economic reforms supported by various donors including IDA. But since 1988, the country has experienced a profound economic setback brought on by a series of political crises. The political instability has impeded economic performance by way of loss of investor confidence, work stoppages, distraction of Government from economic policy reforms and slow disbursements, as well as suspension cf vital external assistance. The current economic situation is characterized by negative GDP growth, a high and increasing level of open unemployment, especially in the urban areas, rising prices, large budgetary and balance of payments gaps, and rapidly deteriorating provision of economic and social services. 2.04 The major economic sector in Haiti is agriculture, which contributes 35S of GNP and employs two thirds of the labor force, followed by commerce (19% of GNP) and manufacturing (17%). Merchandise exports totalled US$214 million on average of 1984-1988, and consisted mainly of manufactured goods (61%), coffee (21X), and cocoa and essential oils (2% each). Merchandise imports exceed the export value by about 50%, and food imports  -4- alone consume 402 of total export earnings. Other featureo of Haiti's economy include its relative opon access and the importance of non-regulated trade, its dependency on transfer payme ,ts from Haitians living abroad, a high unemployment rate of 252-302 of the labor force, and the export of labor to neighboring countries for seasonal agricultural jobs such as cene cutting and coffee harvesting. The Agriculture Sector 2.05 Agriculture in terms of GDP contribution and employment remains Haiti's most important economic sector, although its contribution has been declining and is expected to continue its long-term decline. The decline is explained by, among other factors, the relentless pressure of the population on the country's very limited cultivable land resources, leading to decreasing farm sizes, overexploitation of land, increases in the land values, and declining productivity per hectare and per worker. These problems are aggravated by a fluid and complex land tenure situ_tion which does not aliQw rational use of the available land resources. On the one hand, large tracts of land belonging to the Government or absentee landowners are underutilized, while most small farms lack land titles or other securities, such as long-term leases, that would promote intensive cultivation and investment. There is also a large problem with overlapping land claims. In addition, Government support services, which should promote technological change, are practically non-existent (para. 3.04). Structural and policy changes in recent years include the demise of the sugar industry, the removal of quantitative protection for traditional crops such as maize and rice, and the reduction or elimination of export taxes, now benefitting producers of coffee, sisal and cocoa. Initernational market developments have generally negatively impacted on Haiti, in particular the significant decline of coffee and cocoa prices since early 1989. 2.06 Information on Haiti's resource base is limited to 1978 satellite maps, which indicate that nearly 80S of Haiti's area is devoted to agriculture in the broad sense, including 622 for crop use and 182 extensive grazing. The net cultivated area represents 11,900 kn2, or 441 of Haiti's land area. Twenty eight percent of the net cultivated area is in tree crops, 131 in specialized crops, e.g., rice, and 592 in food crops mostly grown in the hilly areasoll Against this pattern of extensive land use are the estimates of BDPA that only 7,700 km2 (or 281 of the total land area) is cultivable.11 That would mean that cultivation on land unsuited for agriculture is occurring on 20% to 302 of the country's land area, the consequence of which is serious 1/ BDPA-SCETAGRI: Gestion des Ressources Naturelles en Vue d'un D6veloppement Durable en Haiti, Rapport Final, Fevrier 1990. Table on page 20. 2/ Source: BDPA-SCETAGRI: op.cit., page 27.  natural resource degrad&tion and extreme poverty for those who must farm such areas. 2.07 The main crops in Haiti are: coffee, the major export crop, and cocoa, which are produced mairly in mountainous zonee; rice, which io produced under irrigation, b : also imported in significant quantities; and a variety of food crops including maize, millet, and [ aanas. The production of cotton, sugar and sisal, which had some importance in earlier times is disappearing. Haiti also is an important producer and exporter of mango fruits, and a leading world producer of essential oils, in particular vetiver oil, which is extracted by small farmers from the roots of a tropical grass. However, while in other countries vetiver grass is used for soil conservation, the cultivation and harvesting methods used in Haiti result in considerable soil erosion. The Forestry Subsector 2.08 Haiti's once abundant forest resources have diminished to a remnant.3' In addiLion to the few remaining dense forests, the bulk of Haiti's timber re-ources is scattered on land used for agriculture. Nearly a third of the country's lumber now comes from fruit trees (mango, avocado, breadfruit). The percentage of hardwood (mahagony, cedar, oak and others) is steadily diminishing. Firewood and charcoal nowadays come mainly from bushy thickets of Prosopis (mestique) which has replaced the overexploited forests, and from foreut fallows. The concept of "wood resources" today can therefore 3/ Source: BDPA-SCETAGRI: op.cit., page 33. Data on Haiti's wood resources is conflicting and not up-to-date. The last inventory was made in 1978 by FAO and estimated the natural forest -rea at about 1,210 ki2, down from the 1956 inventory result of 1,900 km,, a reduction by 371 over 20 7ears. The estimate for 1988 of the FAO/CP ptoject preparation mission is for 1,070 km2 of natural forest, or 42 of the land area, broken down as follows: Pine Forest dense 80 km2 degraded 200 kin Leaf Forest dense 140 km2 degraded 500 kna Mangroves 150 ki These figures are extrapolated from the 1978 inventory and a BDPA estimate of 1989 that Haiti's forest resources had diminished by 32Z between 1978 and 1988. In addition to those areas of "natural forest", BDPA-SCETAGRI (Rapport Interimaire 1989, Annex 1, Tableau 1) has estimated. (i) 400 km2 of very open pine forest; (ii) 800 km2 of secondary broao leaf forest; (iii) 2,900 km2 of degraded dryland forest (e.g., Prosopis and Acacia ape.); (iv) 1,700 km2 of dense tree crops (e.g., coffee); and (v) 4,000 km2 of open tree crops. The final environmental report by BDPA of February 1990 does not give a detailed account of Haiti's forest areas. For the location of Haiti's forest resources see Map IBRD 22676.  be equated with combustible biomass; all species and all diameters from a few centimeters upwards are used.!' he Environment 2.09 Few countries in the world face a worse degree of environmental degradation than Haiti. The pressure to increase production of food crops has resulted in tho e-.pansion of the cultivated area into marginal lands including steep hills, the removal of treee and shrubs and the shortening of the fallow periods. There is also a shift to production of annual food crops, away from tree crops such as coffee, thereby exposing soil for longer periods to erosion pressures as the need 'or subsiscence fooa grows. Until recently, a zontributing factor waz the protected and i.4gh domestic price for cereal crops relative to the prices of permanent c-rops such as coffee and cocoa, which were subject to heavy export taxes. However, by far the greatest pressure on Haiti's dwindling natural resources comes from the cutting vf trees and shrubs for firewood and charcoal. Apart from being the major fuel source of Haiti, comprising 761 of the total energy consumed, wood gathering and charcoal production provide the last resort for gainful employment in the most impoverished rural areas of Haiti. It is particularly severe in those areas where unclear land ownership or lack of management favors short-term gains and overexploitation. Some areas contain rare animal and plant species unique to the island of Hispaniola, but some of the species are threatened by extinction in the short term, unless appropriate and urgent protective measures are taken. 2.10 Although Haiti has an impressive xrumber of laws and regulations to protect natural resources, these are inconsistent and incomplete, and the Government lacks the capacity to enforce them. The existing natural rescurce legislation is poorly adapted to the socio-economic context of rural Haiti, emphasizing prohibition with little attention to incentives. For example, tree harvesting, even on private land, is prohibited, except by permit from the MARNDR, thereby creating a disincentive for farmers to adopt agroforestry practices. Also, in the same context, Government has sought to prohibit tree cutting through the establishment by decree of two national parks, one forest recerve and several nature sites. However, their delineation, inventory and protection is incomplete, ineffective, and without the support of local inhabitants who see such efforts as one more attempt to take land away from them. MARNDR has the principal responsibility for protecting natural resources, but conservation policy for the national domain (which includes historic monuments and archeological sites in addition to nature sitee) rests with ISPAN (Institut de Sauvegarde de la Patrimoine Nationale), an autonomous agency created in 1979, that has passed from the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation to the Ministry of Education at present. In addition, the Haitian Army has a mandate for establishing a special forestry guard corps since 1987. Ntither ISPAN nor the Army, however, have had any significant role or impact. 4/ Source: BDPA-SCETAGRI: op.cit., page 33.  -7 The Household Energy Sector 2.11 I14pr-ted petrofuels, valued at about US$45 million per year, provide about 132 of Haiti's total energy demand. However, two thirds of these imported fuels are consumed by the transport sector, and lees than 10Z by residential householde. Domestic firewood and charcoal are by far the most important energy source, providing 76Z of the 1.4 million tons of oil equivalent of Haiti's total energy consumption. Woodfuel is consumed largely by households In the cities and rural areas, while some 102 goes to sugar, rum, oil factories, bakeries, dry cleaners and schools. Urban households hlve increased their share from about 30Z in 1985 to an estimated 401 of total wocdfuel consumed in 1990. The urban household demand is mainly for charcoal that is produced from felled live trees, whereas rural dwellere cansume primarily firewood from branches, bushes and dead wood. 2.12 The level of woodfuel use in Haiti is unsustainable. Consumption in 1990 of woodfuel has been estimated at 5.4 million m3/year, of which 1.1 million m3 in charcoal equivalent.1' This demand exceeds the sustainable supply by about 1.6 million m3/year.61 If left unchecked, this will lead to an ever increasing pace of degradation of Haiti's natural resources. As an illustration, this level of overexploitation corresponds to what would be a sustainable production from about 200,000 ha of well managed fuelwood plantations. However, since such forests do not exist, these woodfuels come largely from vast areas of degraded forests, forest fallows and agriculturally used land (see para. 2.08). Haiti's other domestic energy resources (agricultural/urban wastes, lignite, hydropower ar4 solar energy) are not competitive or available in quantities which would justify their development and use as woodfuel substitutes. 2.13 Government has enacted several policies aimed at relieving the pressure on woodfuel and generating fiscal revenues, but these have not been effective for lack of enforcement and in some cases impracticability. In October 1987 a decree was issued forbidding the cutting of all trees without prior authorizat.on by MARNDR. The decree also set a six-month deadline for wood-burning industries to convert to alternative fuels, but no effective mechanism was put in place to facilitate the conversion. 2.1/ The application of tax measures has also been inconsistent. MAA1dl.)R taxes the transport of charcoal at one Gourde per sack of 38 kg, or 2% of the Port-au-Prince retail price. Bulk commercial firewood is taxed at one Gourde per piece, a very high rate relative to its value. Thkse taxes are paid by the transporters to MARNDR district agents in the producing areas and the receipts are checked at control posts at the main entrances to the cities. However, in practice lower tax rates are often applied, and collections that reach DRNIs Forestry Service which is administering the revenues, are 5/ Source: BDPA-SCETAGRI, 1990, op.cit., page 34. 6/ Source: FAO/CP Project Preparation Report, 1990, based on BDPA figures of 1989.  - 8 - oxtremely low. In 1989 these collections represented only about 10Z of the estimated amounts due. 2.15 Among imported fuels, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been the fuel of choice by those relatively few households able to afford the more expensive gas stove (US$40 per gas stove versus US$2 for the traditional charcoal stove). However, the high capital cost, coupled with the expensive and irregular supply of gas and spare parts due to the foreign exchange constraint means that only a small percentage of households will be able to switch to LPG. Even then, they retain back-up charcoal stove facilities. Neverthelass, promotion of LPG stoves and gas is being actively pursued by a private petroleum company, albeit with a limited market, and in support of this it is exempt from import duties and is being given priority foreign exchange allocation at the official rate. For small industries the irregularity of supply is an even greater deterrent to switch to gas or oil-burning facilities in place of woodfuels. Kerosene, another alternative energy source, has only a small market potential for cooking (estimated at 101 of urban households), based on recent market surveys conducted by ESMAP, because of its odor, and because an acceptable stove is not available in Haiti. It is imported primarily for transport in the form of diesel and is subjected to a tax of 74% of its cif value. In economic terms, kerosene is not superior to LPG as a household energy fuel. Therefore, while it would seem highly desirable to move away from woodfuals towards alternative fuel sources to help reduce the pressure on Haiti's natural resources, the prospects for this in the medium term ara very limited. Rather, much greater efforts are needed to expand the usage of more fuel efficient charcoal stoves which retail in Haiti for as little as US$4 per stove and use 20-30S less charcoal relative to traditional stoves. _II. INSTITUTIONS . STRATEGIES AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR RENEWABLE NATURAL RESOURCES AND HOUSEHOLD ENERGY Institutional Responsibilities and Constraints 3.01 Ministry of Agriculture. Natural Resources and Rural Development (MARNDR). The three principal objectives of IARNDR, as stated in its charter, are to promote agriculture, conservation and utilization of natural resources, and rural development. Currently, the central structure of the Ministry is divided into four technical directorates (Livestock, Agriculture, Natural Resources, Rural Development), and one for Administration. The Minister is assisted by a Director General who also supervises a technical secretariat and two other units: machinery park and control/evaluation/planning. In the field, MARNDR is represented through 22 agricultural districts scattered over the four main regions of the country. These field offices, staffed with personnel of different subject matters, report to the Director General, and not directly to the specialized directorates or services. Superimposed on this structure are specialized semi-autonomous organizations which report directly to the Minister: (i) regional development organizations: ODVA (Artibonite Valley); ODPG (Gonaives Plain); ODN (INorthern Haiti); ODBFA (Artibonite Watershed); and ODNO (North-West Haiti); and (ii) credit institutione: BNDAI (Agricultural and Industrial Development Bank) and BCA  -9- (Agricultural Credit Bureau) (see also the organization chart of MARNDR, at the end of this report). In addition, the Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (FAMV) and other educational facilities, including the Technical School for Agroforestry (EMAF) receive financial support from the Ministry. 3.02 Each directorate comprises a number of services for the different activities it is supposed to provide. The Directorate of Natural Resources (DRN) comprises the following six servicest Irrigation and Rural Engineering, Watershed Management (including a separate technical office, STAB), Water Resources, Forest Resources, Environmental Protection, Aquaculture and Fishing. However, several of these services are neither fully staffed nor funded, and are therefore unable to perform useful functions. 3.03 Because of its involvement in the previous Pilot Forestry Project supported by IDA and other donors, the Forestry Service (SRF) is one of the more active services. It is nominally subdivided into four aections: management of natural forests, reforestation and agroforestry, forestry statistics, and forestry research. The personnel of the SRE comprises a Head of the Service, eight university graduates, mostly agriculturalists without true forestry training, 34 forestry and a few agroforestry technicians and 22 support staff. In addition, there are 60 forestry agents posted in the agricultural districts, but they report through the district head to MARNDR's Director General. 3.04 This ministerial structure causes problems of coordination, in particular between the agricultural districts, the regional development organizations, and the various directorates of the central Ministry. Units operate independently without clear lines of command and responsibilities. Consequently, duplications of activities and waste of time and resources are common. Decentralization has long been proposed as a means of increasing and improving the delivery of services to the rural areas, and was, in fact, included in a 1982 Law, and the 1986 Constitution. However, no serious attempts have been made to streamline MARNDR's operations. Efforts are stifled by the very high turn-over of ministers (12 in the ten years before 1990) and senior staff, and the resultant discontinuity of policies and strong political focus of all activities. Other difficulties relate to problems of attracting qualified and committed staff in view of non-competitive salaries and poor working conditions, the near impossibility to dismiss long-term staff, and the unwillingness of headquarters staff to move to rural assignments. Any reform would also have to address the issue of rational provision of budgetary funds for operations. Ninety six percent of the MARNDR's 1989/90 operational budget of US$9.2 million was consumed by salaries, leaving virtually nothing for operational expenses. The 1989/90 investment budget in the sector was for US$35.3 million, of which only US$2.4 million would be Government's contribution and the bulk would be funded by foreign donors. (There are also other projects in the sector that are financed and implemented directly by donors so as to by-pass the Ministry.) 3.05 Institutions in the Energy Sector. Th.e following institutions have a direct or indirect impact on woodfuel consumption patterns: (i) The Bureau of Mines and Energv (BME) of the Ministry of Public Works. Transport  - 10 - and Communications. This agency, and more specifically its former Department for Energy Resources (DRE, currently being reorganized), is responsible for formulating national energy policy for biomass energy, petroleum products and coal. DRE's specific mandate was to: (a) inventory, evaluate, develop and conserve national energy resources in coordination with other concerned sectors; (b) promote the utilization of all forms of energy potentially contributing to the socio-economic development of the country; (c) recommend measures for improved energy management and ensure their aoplication; and (d) contribute to the protection of the environment; (ii) Bureau for the SupplY of Petroleum Products of the Ministry of Commerce ana industry. This agency sets prices for getroleum products and is responsible for controlling supplies; and (iii) Electricit6 t'Haiti, an autonomous Government authority responsible for the production and distribution of electrical energy. 3.06 Miscellaneous Institutions. Other institutional responsibilities for the management of natural resources are as follows. The impact of the institutions is marginal, however, because of lack of resources. (i) The Ministry of Economv and Finance. Through its tax authority, Direction G6n6rale des Imp8ts, the Ministry manages the "private domain of the state," i.e., state land that can be leased out, sold, donated or homesteaded to individuals or corporations under contractual arrangements (this is in contrast to the "public domain of the state", which is administered by other ministries and can also be leased out but not alienated; national narks would belong to this latter category of landholding); (ii) The Armed Forces of Haiti. They exercise policing functions although as mentioned previously (para. 2.10), were to have created a special Corps of Forestry Guards; (iii) The Institute for the Safeguard of the National Patrimony (ISPAN). This is a semi-autonomous Government agency under the Ministry of Education that shares jurisdiction over national parks with the DRN; (iv) The National Tcurism Office. This agency shares jurisdiction over parks; and (v) The Ministry of Plan and External Cooperation. The Ministry is charged with monitoring NGOs and policy on environmental protection. 3.07 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). NGOs, of which there are about 350, fill some of the gaps left by non-functioning public services in Haiti. They serve as channels for external funding of services and investments (about US$80 million per year, of which about US$20 million is for the agricultural sector). NGOs can be national or foreign, but have to be registered with the Haitian Government, which includes requirements to provide certain guarantees and statements and allow periodic vetting by Government of their organization and programs. NGOs are seldom used by the Government, but rather have parallel activities. In agroforestry, NGOs contracted by an external donor agency have been particularly successful in promoting tree planting by farmers (para 3.09). Past Forest Development Programs and Lessons Learned 3.08 Past efforts to develop forestry in Haiti have centered on two major investment projects: the USAID supported Agroforestry Outreach Project (AOP) (para. 3.09), and the National Forestry Project, which has been supported by an IDA Credit and is further described in para. 3.10. External  - 11 - funding for both projects closed at the end of 1989, but in both cases follow- up operations are being implemented or prepared. These two projects provide the main basis for the technical and administrative approaches to be pursued under the proposed Forestry and Environmental Protection Project. 3.09 AMroforestry Outreach Proiect (AOP). The objective of the AOP was to promote commercial tree production on private farm land without affecting food crop production. USAID contributed US$27 million to this program between 1981 and 1989, which involved four contracts with different NGOs for the provision of field services and a coordination and technical support unit within USAID/Haiti. The AOP has been implemented without the involvement of the HARNDR. The four NGOs, their activities and locations were: (i) Operation Double Harvest: this was an unsuccessful attempt to establish large-scale plantations around Port-au-Prince on lands belonging to large landowners. Funding stoppid in 1987 in view of lack of interest by large landowners; (ii) CARE: Care used its own local network to promote tree planting with farmer groups in the North-West; (iii) Pan American Development Foundation (PADF): PADF was contracted to implement "Project Pyebwa& and worked through about 80 local NGOs which promoted tree planting by farmers in the Southeast, Southwest, Central Plateau and North; aad (iv) SECID: was contracted to implement the research part of AOP. Between 1982 and 1989 about 50 million tree seedlings have been distributed, involving more than 200,000 farms. Based on 12 months survival counts, the estimated tree survival rate has been increasing over time and recently reached 452 two years after planting. The success of the AOP has been attributed to the feature that NGOs have been used to provyide support services to the farmers, and that the farmer becomes the owner of the tree and decides about the management and harvest of the trees. AOP's follow-up project, the Agroforestry II Project, uses a similar administrative and financing approach as the AOP, but includes extension advice for soil conservation and forage production, strengthening of national NGOs, and awareness campaigns for environmental protection, in addition to seedling production and tree planting. 3.10 National Forestry Prolect (PFN). The National Forestry Project, a pilot operation that was implemented by MARNDR between 1982 and 1989, was financed jointly by IDA (Credit 1257-HA, with US$4.0 million disbursed), the Government (US$0.75 million), the International Research Center (US$0.3 r'llion), and the French Agency for Voluntary Services (US$0.6 million). The objectives of the project weres (i) the strengthening of the MARNDR's Forest Service; (ii) education and training in forestry; (iii) species trials for the production of woodfuel on 350 ha; (iv) pilot plantations for woodfuel production and a trial to determine the production impact of protection measures for the local savanna vegetation; (v) partial management of the Pine Forest on 5,750 ha; (vi) promotion of improved cooking stoves for wood and charcoal; and (vii) the preparation of a large-scale follow-up project. Policy objectives included: (a) building up the operational capacity of the Forestry Service, including a strong extension element; (b) enacting and applying new forestry legislation; and (c) developing economically viable reforestation and forest management practices. The project was also to design a long-term plan for forestry development.  - 12 - 3.11 The project had a slow start, suffered from shortages of counterpart funds and political disturbances, and to complete the project, the IDA credit had to be extended by two and a half years. Nevertheless, the project has largely achieved its quantitative targets, except for the primary education component, and the introduction of improved cooking stoves. It was less successful in realizing its policy objectives. The enactment of new forest legislation and the preparation of a long-term forestry development plan did not materialize. Extension activities were limited to a partial census and some land leases in the Pine Forest. Certain technical results, in particular those relating to the pilot plantations, require further confirmation. In particular, the pilot plantings faced opposition and intrusions from the local populations, and suffered from cattle damage and erratic rainfall. The lessons identified in the Project Completion Report for this project include: (i) a strategy for institutional development should be in place before project implementation; (ii) the Government should commit adequate budgetary resources for the financing of operational costs; (iii) a clear national forestry policy should be spelled out before the project; (iv) Government should be committed to enact and apply new forest legislation; and (v) a purely technocratic approach to forestry development, i.e., without due consideration of the social dimension and involvement of people, is not feasible in Haiti. 3.12 Other Forestry and Environment Related Programs. There are a large number of ongoing and planned, smaller training, research, and development projects in the areas of forestry, grazing management, watershed protection, erosion control, and agroforestry that are supported by UNDP, FAO and several bilateral donors. These programs are, if at all, only loosely coordinated by the Government, and lack a common strategy. However, UNDP/FAO and the Government of Haiti have agreed to start implementation of the Tropical Forestry Action Plan (TFAP) through the preparation of a national plan for the forestry subsector. Complementing these efforts has been the Environmental Assessment and Strategy Review,'/ financed by IDA under the Technical Assistance Credit (Credit 1786-HA). The study was completed in 1990 and, while general in its recommendations, it has heightened the awareness of the seriousness of the environmental problems in Haiti. The proposed Forestry and Environmental Project has been designed to provide the institutional umbrella framework within which further support could be given under the TFAP as implementation capacity is strengthened. Household Energy Programs 3.13 The BYv has been primarily responsible for household energy programs during t 1980s, in cooperation with international donors and NGOs. Past and present .orts have consisted of: (a) a cookstove component financed between 1983 and 1986 by the Canadian Center for Research and International Development under the IDA-supported National Forestry Project (para. 3.10) which provided training, the establishment of a stove-testing laboratory, surveys and the desien of a prototype of an improved charcoal stove ("BME model"); (b) an ong. ..g ILO-supported program to train artisans in 7/ BDPA-SCETAGRI: op. cit.  13 - Jacmel and Griagris to produce BHE stoves; (c) starting in 1989 with support from the French Agency for Voluntary Services, training of ten stovemakers to make elevated and standard versions of the BME stove for food vendors from recycled metall (d) starting in 1989 with support from OLADE, the Latin American Energy Organization, the pilot production and dissemination of 400 BME stoves made of new metal in three workshops that employ six artisans; and (e) the installation in 1989/90 of efficient wood and charcoal-burning stoves in several restaurants and institutional kitchens by a Swiss NGO. Over seven years, these efforts have resulted in the dissemination of only 600 stovea. Key lessons learned include: (i) the BME model is acceptable to consumers and yields theoretical charcoal savings of 302 over the traditional stove (202-25Z savings in practice); (ii) the French approach of using recycled material and individual artisans results in a more affordable product than the BME system relying on new metal and workshops (US$2.70 per stove versus US$4.70 per stove); and (iii) a mass dissemination effort, with large-scale training and a professional public relation campaign is needed, if improved stoves are to achieve significant market penetration. 3.14 Since 1990 a National Energy Plan for Haiti has been under preparation by the BME within the framework of the UNDP/OLADE/BME Energy Sector Strengthening Project, ai.d the ESMAP/BME Household/Small Enterprises Energy Strategy Study.1' The Plan's recommended strategy with regard to household energy, which is still under review, would include four elements: Mi) introduction of improved charcoal stoves; (ii) streamlining of woodfuel supply; (iii) further development of the LPG market; and (iv) institutional and policy reforms. The first of these elements would be included as a sub- project under the Forestry and Environmental Protection Project (para. 4.11), because of its advanced stage of preparation, the positive results of prior pilot programs, and its relatively low coordination requirements. The further preparation and implementation of the other elements of the household energy development strategy would be further pursued under ESMAP's country program for Haiti. Government Oblectives and Strategy 3.15 During the preparation of the proposed Forestry and Environmental Project, the Ministry of Agriculture has prepared a draft policy statement on the objectives and strategy for improving the living conditions of the population on a sustained basis through interventions in the natural resources subsector, which was confirmed by a policy letter signed by the Prime Minister of Haiti in June 1991.!' The four general objectives aim at: (i) protecting and increasing the value of national forest resources; (ii) increasing forest and agroforestry production and thereby the incomes of the people involved; 8/ Joint UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP), Republic of Haiti: Household Energy Strategy. June 1991. 91 See Annex 10, Document 3: Letter dated June 25, 1991 from Hon. Ren6 Pr6val, Prime Minister of Haiti, to Mr. Barber Conable, President of The World Bank.  - 14 - (iii) ensuring the preservation of rare and endangered spepies; and (iv) integrate the local population in the conservation and management of natural resources and in the protection of the environment. Rationale for IDA Involvement 3.16 The correction of the causes for Haiti's development problems will take many years of sustained external support and political commitment and stability. Coordination between bilateral and multilateral agencies will be essential to bring about lasting benefits in the context of the very limited human capital, weak institutions and the seriously depleted natural resource base on which Haiti must build its future. Current trends of land use in Haiti are not sustainable, and the environmenttal degradation has to be slowed and eventually reversed. 3.17 Because of the political uncertainties, IDA's current lending strategy for Haiti targets interventions in the social sectors, which would benefit the urban poor and rural inhabitants. Within that country strategy, the proposed Forestry and Environmental Project would largely benefit farmers in and around forest reserves and national parks, and the poorer sections of urban consumers of wood fuels. The project would emphasize institutional development combined with limited investments. The project concept is based on the collective experience from the IDA-supported Pilot Forestry Project (paras. 3.10-3.11), the successful tree planting strategy under the USAID- supported Agroforestry Outreach Project (para. 3.09), the recommended approaches of the 1990 Environmental Assessment (para. 3.12), the Government's strategy for natural resource development (para. 3.15), and Haiti's National Energy Plan (in preparation; para. 3.14). The proposed Forestry and Environmental Protection Project would emphasize institutional development, continued and expanded trials and pilot activities involving farmers, protection services for national parks and forest reserves, and agroforestry extension services to farmers in and around the protected areas. It is expected that these efforts would generate viable solutions for larger-scale investment in reforestation and natural resource management. In addition to addressing the causes for resource degradation at the supply (production) level, the project would tackle the demand side for woodfuel by promoting conservation of household energy. IDA's role in the proposed project, and indeed the rationale for IDA's continued involvement with forestry and environmental concerns, is to assist the Government in designing and implementing consistent policies, institutional strengthening, and field operations which make maximum use of the scarce human resources (Government, NGOs and rural workers/farmers) to tackle the natural resource issues countrywide. The project is designed to attract other donor agencies and to provide an institutional framework within which to implement the TFAP. The project would also complement other IDA-supported operations, including the Industrial Restructuring and Development Project (Cr. 2071-HA, signed on February 2, 1990), which inter alia, provides credit to small-scale industries for the conversion from domestic woodfuels to imported energy fuels, and the Economic and Social Fund Project (Cr. 2205-HA, signed on February 14, 1991) which inter alia, supports the rehabilitation and development of small rural roads through NGOs and local community groups. The project would be part of longer-term Government programs to develop Haiti's natural resources, protect  - 15 - its environment and improve energy use (paras. 3.14 and 3.15). It is anticipated that the institutions and technologies that would be developed under the project would provide the basis for successive projects. IV. THE PROJECT 4.01 The project is a follow-up operation to the IDA-supported Forestry Development Project (Credit 1257-HA) that closed on December 31, 1989. It was identified and prepared by the MARNDR's Forest Service and the FAO Investment Center together with IDA staff. Funding for additional preparation work and part of the start-up and maintenance operations of the Forest Service in 1990/91 were provided by a Japanese Grant for the Environment (50.4 million Yen) and an advance under IDA's Project Preparation Facility (PPF) (US$750,000). Negotiations took place in Washington, D.C., in May 1991. The Haitian delegation comprised Messrs. Frangois Severin, Minister of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development; Alex Bellande, Member of the Cabinet of the Minister, MARNDR; Paul Duret, Advisor to the Minister, MARNDR; Louis Buteau, Deputy Director of Natural Resources, MARNDR; and Ms. Monique Pierre-Antoine, Advisor, Ministry of Economy and Finance. Objectives and Brief Description 4.02 Project Objectives. The objective of the project would be to slow the pace of degradation of Haiti's natural resources by: (a) protecting the forests and safeguarding vital ecosystems from further destruction; (b) increasing wood production through the promotion of agroforestry on farms and the improved management of State forest lands; and (c) reducing the pressure on vegetation for charcoal production through conservation of woodfuels used by urban households. 4.03 Project objectives are consistent with the Government's sectoral objectives and policies, and a policy statement towards developing Haiti's renewable natural resources was signed by the Prime Minister on June 25, 1991 (para. 3.15 and Annex 10, Document 3). 4.04 Brief Project Description. The project would provide technical and financial support for: (a) the institutional strengthening of the MARNDR's Directorate of Natural Resources (DRN) and its Forestry and Environmental Protection Services, and for training in forestry and agroforestry; (b) specific programs to promote tree planting, soil and water conservation, improve the management of forest reserves, expand forestry and agroforestry research; establish and manage national parks and biosphere reserves; and monitor land use in Haiti; and (c) the promotion by the Bureau of Mines and Energy of more efficient charcoal stoves in urban areas. Except for the Household Energy Conservation Subproject (part (c) of the project), which would be implemented by the BME, the project would be implemented by the MARNDR through its DRN and the Forestry and Environmental Protection Services.  - 16 - Detailed Features 4.05 Institutional Strengthening of MARNDR. To strengthen MAR DR's operations in the natural resources sector in general, the project would improves (a) the administrative facilities, staffing and operations of DRN and its Forestry and Environmental Protection Services; (b) training in forestry and agroforestry; tc) the regulatory framework for renewable natural resources; and (d) the woodfuel taxation. (a) Improved Administrative Facilities. Staffin and OQerations. and !anagement Assistance (Annex 8'. Funds would be provided under the project to improve and expand the physical facilities of DRN, SRF and SPE. This would include the reconstruction of the first floor of the MARNDR's headquarters building in Damien that was destroyed by fire, and the purchase of furniture and office equipment, vehicles, and other equipment (estimated investment costs US$1.0 million -Lo). The project would also fund for the duration of the project an internationally recruited management firm through which four specialists would be provided as technical coordinator and financial manager of DRN, forestry advisor to the SRP, and resident ecologist in SPE (estimated cost: US$3.6 million). With funding provided under the Project Preparation Facility (PPF) prior to credit effectiveness, a procurement consultant would assist DRN in the selection of the mansgement firm as well as in the initiation of the bidding process for agroforestry extension consultants and for the procurement of goods and civil works. Under the direction of the Director of Natural Resources, a project management team, composed of Haitian professional staff, including a project administrator and assisted by key specialists, provided by the management firm, would carry out the dal to-day implementation and management of the project. Haitian counterpart staff would receive project financed allowances in addition to their Government salary. The project management team would handle procurement and supervision of civil works, equipment and materials, of staff and consultants, including NGOs to provide agroforestry extension services (para. 4.06). It would coordinate project activities with those of other agencies directly or indirectly involved in the project, prepare annual work programs and budgets, and compile the project progress reports for submission to the Government, IDA, and the external monitoring agency (para. 5.07). Additional short-term consultancies (estimated cost US$0.7 million) would also be provided through the management firm as required by the project. In order to avoid conflicts of interest, external monitoring and the mid-term evaluation of the project (paras. 5.07 and 5.08) would be carried out by staff/consultants of an independent external agency, and 10/ All costs are given in the section "Detailed Features" include contingencies.  - 17 - not through the management firm. Details of all consultancies are compiled in Annex 10, Chart 4. It would be conditions of effectiveness of the credit that: (i) a project administrator with qualifications and experience acceptable to IDA had been appointed (para. 7.03 (a)); and (ii) an internationally recruited firm of management consultants, with terms of reference, qualifications of proposed specialists, and conditions of employment satisfactory to IDA, had been appointed to provide specialists for the positions of financial manager and technical coordinator for the DRN, of senior forestry advisor to the SRF, and of resident ecologist for the SPE (para. 7.03 (b)). It was also agreed at negotiationc that as part of the Implementation Program of the projects (iii) the positions of Director of Natural Resources, of project administrator, and of the Chiefs of the SRP and SPE would be maintained throughout the project and staffed with persons whose qualifications and experiences are acceptable to IDA (para. 7.02 (b) (i)); and (iv) technical specialists with qualifications and experience satisfactory to IDA would be maintained throughout the project for the positions of financial mtnager and technical coordinator of DRN, senior forestry advisor to the SRF and resident ecologist for the SPE (para. 7.02 (c) (ii)). A summary of the terms of reference of the technical specialists and other consultants required for the implementation of the project and of the employment schedule is in Annex 10, Chart 4. (b) Training (Annex 7). The project would: (1) finance six overseas scholarships at the master's level for qualified staff of SRF and SPE, and nine external short courses for the r.ction heads and unit chiefs of SRP and SPE in specialized topics which correspond to their work assignments. In accordance with existing procedures, such staff would be required to sign contracts with MARNDR guaranteeing their return to the Ministry for service periods not less than three months for every month of training received; (ii) establish a permanent core staff at the Technical School for Agroforestry (EMAF) and provide teaching support from the Faculty for Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (FAMV) and other training institutions; (iii) recruit through the project management firm a training specialist for the first two years of the project to assist EMUA staff in defining training needs, designing the curricula and training materials, implementing the training programs and in teaching; (iv) modify the basic training curriculum of EMAP to include more courses on agriculture and agroforestry, expand practical training, and supplement the curriculum by specialty courses on tropical forestry, agroforestry, and wildlife conservation and natural resource management during the second year; (v) improve the training facilities in Damien and the Pine Forest Reserve by repairing and remodeling buildings, and financing vehicles, equipment and operating costs; (vi) train a total of 40 agroforestry technicians in two successive two-year cycles of 20 students each, including re-training of selected MARNDR staff; (vii) hire additional local  - 18 - and external short-term consultants as lecturers and resource persons for annual in-service training for project staff; and (viii) design curricula and provide basic training in two-week cycles for law enforcement personnel. The estimated cost of the training subcomponent would be US$1.9 million. (c) Regulatorv Framework Review and URdate (Annex 2). Fund.- (about US$100,000) would be provided under the project f consultants to: (i) review all existing legislation and regulations governing natural resource use, and of the current enforcement capability; (ii) identify inconsistencies, gaps and unenforceable provisions of the law and incompatibility with the overall policy framework; (iii) prepare proposals for updating, amending and drafting new legislation; and (iv) assist the Government in the design of the institutional arrangements to implement the legislation. The objective would be to create an appropriate regulatory framework, including the legal and institutional capabilities, for impioving management and development of natural resources in Haiti. Assurances were obtained during negotiations of the project that the Government would submit by Harch 30, 1993 for IDA's comments a proposal for changes to its natural resource legislation aimed inter alia at increasing the incentives for farmers to plant trees by reducing the existing restrictions on harvesting and use, making the legislation consistent with the objectives of the Government's development strategy, and strengthening the institutional capabilities for enforcing such legislation. Assurances were also obtained that all measures, including submission of draft bills to Congress if needed, which are required for the implementation of the changes, would be taken no later than December 31, 1993 (para. 7.01 (a); An-ex 10, Chart 4 sunmarizes the terms of reference and schedule of the consultants to be employed). (d) Imorovement of the Woodfuels Taxation System (Annex 8). Funds (US$30,000) would be provided under the project for a short-term consultancy to review and prepare recommendations for raising the collection levels of the existing woodfuel taxes, as well as for adjvuting tax levels in line with economic pricing of fuels, and improving the accounting and budgeting procedures of the Special Reforestation Fund. The objective would be to introduce a rational and efficient taxation system, which in addition to recovering part of the social costs of defLrestation, would provide financing ^:or forestry development and environmental protection activities on a continuing basis. It was agreed during negotiations of the project that the Government would, as part of the project's Implementation Program, submit by September 30, 1992 for IDA's comments a proposal for changes to its woodfuel taxation system aimed inter alia at: improving the collection, reporting and accounting of the woodfuel taxes; improving the enforcement capabilities in the application of the woodfuel tax regulations; and setting tax rates at the appropriate levels (paras. 2.14, 4.13 (e), and Annex 9, Appendix 4). It was also agreed that all  - 19 - measures, including submission of legislation to Congreso, if needed, which are required for the implementation of the changes, would be taken no later than December 31, 1993 (para. 7.02 (a); Annex 10, Chart 4 aummarizes the terms of reference and schedule of the consultants to be employed). 4.06 Aaroforstrv Development (Annex 5). The project would provide agroforestry extension services to farmers living in and near protected f ecosystems. The objective would be to both improve the income levels of people living in !nd around endangered ecosystems, as well as to relieve the pressure on such through land clearing and illegal tree harvesting. Agroforestry extension services would be provided by NGOs as contractors of DRN and under the technical supervision by either the SRF or SPE, depending on the institutional responsibility for the area serviced (estimated cost US$5.2 million). The use of NGOs as extension agents follows the successful model of the USAID-supported Agroforestry Outreach Project. An important modification, however, would be to have the Government as the contracting and financing agency as opposed to having the NGO contracted directly by the bilateral donor agency. DRN's capacity to implement such a program would be strengthened as described in para. 4.05 (a). As DIN's experience and capacity grows, it is possible that an expanded agroforestry program may be undertaken with additional bilateral financing which could come in the context of the TFAP for Haiti. Agroforestry extension under the project would be offered to farmers in the Pine Forest Reserve, in the Pic Macaya and La Visite national parks and their buffer zones, and in the Belle Anse area of Southeast Haiti. In the reserve and park areas, a more intensive and integrated approach would be used, providing multiple services to relatively small populations. These would include support for tree planting for fruit and timber as an economic endeavor, contour conservation treatments, and agricultural development in general. Extension services would be targeted both to existing farmer groups and individuals. Tree planting and soil conservation works would be done by participating individuals and groups on privately held lands. A more extensive approach would be used in the Belle Anse area, where tree seedlings, hedgerow technology and technical assistance would be provided to a greater area and population. In addition to its technical content, agroforestry extension will have a social component as well, in that it will contribute to identifying and strengthening of existing small peasant groups, and in formalizing new groups. Small peasant groups will be assisted with education in basic self-organization themes, training in agroforestry, soil conservation, drinking and irrigation water supply (see para. 4.07 below), and other resource conservation techniques, and in methods to initiate group economic activities. In all areas, the contracted NGOs would design an implementation strategy based on thei' appraisal of the local institutions, resource availability, indigenous knowledge and technology base, that would strengthen local institutions and technology and result in sustained benefits beyond the project life. As part of the project's Implementation Program the Government would enter into agreements with qualified and experienced NGOs that would specify their rtspective rights and obligations under terms and conditions acceptable to IDA (para. 7.03 (d)), including inter al.a that 'le NGO would: (i) prepare annual work programs and budget proposals that would include readily monitored input and output data and be reviewed and authorized for financing by DRN; (ii) submit semiannual progress reports to DRN; and  - 20 - (lii) submit annual evaluation report. together with next year's program and budget to DRN by June 30 of each year. The evaluations and programs would also be reviewed by IDA and the external monitoring agency (para. 5.07) as part of their review of the Annual Work Program and Budget of the project (para. 5.02). 4.07 The agroforestry development component would include a two-year pilot program of civil works for cisterns and other installations in the Pine Forest extension area that would provide water for human and animal consumption, and for the irrigation of nurseries and vegetable gardens (estimated cost US$0.9 million). The design of the water development activities would be evaluated in the context of subprojects to be approved by IDA. The NGO contracted for providing agroforestry extension in the Pine Forest areas, would identify the needs for such subprojects, mobilize the commitment of the beneficiarins who would be expected to contribute a minimum of 10% of the total costs in the form of free labor and local materials, and arrange for the operation and maintenance by the beneficiaries after completion of the works. The detailed programs would be ircluded in the NGO's annual programs and reports (para. 4.06 atove). The preparation of the subprojects, including the detailed technical designs, local competitive bidding and construction supervision would be carried out by the DRN, who would also draw on other MARNDR technicians experienced in water development works. The implementation experience and the scope of the component would be reviewed during the mid-term evaluation of the project (para. 5.08). 4.08 Forest Manazement (Annex 3). The project would through SRR: (a) improve the management of the existing Pine Forest Reserve; and (b) create additional forest reserves (the estimated total cost of SRF's forest management activities would be US$5.0 million). (a) Pine Forest Management activities would involve: (i) completion of the inventory of the Pine Forest Reserve over an area of approximately 4,600 ha and the preparation of a detailed implementation plan for the existing global forest management plan; (ii) completion of the ongoing farm survey; (iii) preparation of management land use zones: (iv) introduction of long-term land lease contracts between SRF and the farmers, acceptable to IDA, which would require that farmers pay an annual lease fee and implement sound conservation/cultivation practices as described in the farm-specific plans that would be developed jointly between the SRF, the NGO providing agroforestry extension services (para. 4.06 above) and the farmer; (v) all agricultural lands within the perimeter of the Pine Forest Reserve would be surveyed and marked to facilitate SRF managing the reserve; (vi) reforestation of about 1,500 ha; (vii) protection of about 2,100 ha of natural regeneration sites from wildfire damage by maintaining fire-breaks; (viii) establishment of a fire control unit; (xi) thinning of natural stands and Christmas tree production on reforested areas; and (x) provision of forest guard services. Assurances were obtained during negotiations that the Government would take all measures, including submission of legislation to Congress, if needed, to ensure HA NDR's control and  - 21 management of the Pine Forest Reserve by September 30, 1992 (para. 7.01 (b) (i)). As part of the project's Implemantation Program, SRP woulds (1) carry out the required surveys in the Pine Forest Reserve by June 30, 19921 (2) furnish to IDA a detailed implementation plan, satisfactory to IDA, for the management of the Pine Forest Reserve by September 30, 1993; and (3) sign land lease contracts, under terms and conditions satisfactory to IDA, with all farmers residing in the Pine Forest Reserve by December 31, 1993 (para. 7.02 (e) and (f)). (b) Creation ofAddftional Forest Reserves. On the basis of SPE9s national inventory and identification if forest resources (see para. 4.09 (a) below), SRF would select State land vith potential for forest production and create additional forest reserves. This would involve: (i) the transfer of identified State land under control and management of MARNDR for its protection and davelopment; (ii) the detailed inventory of existing resources and use; (iii) the preparation and implementation of management plans and land use zones; and (iv) demarcation and protection as forest reserves. Assuranccs were obtained during negotiations that the Government would take all measures, including submission of legislation to Congress, if needed, to ensure MARNDR's control and manage-ment of approximately 30,000 ha of new forest reserves, incluling broadleaf forests, semi-arid forest, arid-land scrub, and mangrove forests, and create such reserves by September 30, 1994 (pera. 7.01 (b) (ii)). 4.09 Forestry and Agroforestrv Research (Annex 4). The project, through SRF, would: (a) expand the existing forestry trials; (b) initiate agroforestry research in the Pine Forest Reserve; (c) establish two pilot programs for land management and forestry production; and (d) collect and manage information on forestry/agroforestry research in Haiti. The objective would be to develop technology to increase forestry production both on private farm land and on State land. These research activities (estimated cost US$2.2 million) would entails (a) Forestrv and Fuelvood Trials: (i) continued fuelwood research on the existing sites, increasingly integrating local farmers in the research implementation and extending to them research results; (ii) new research in the Pine Forest Reserve comprising tree improvement, entomology research, comparative species trials and thinning trials; and (iii) establishment of permanent plots for forest ecosystems research in each of the forest reserves and national parks to monitor species composition and growth (see also para. 4.10 (b)). (b) Agroforestrv Research. This would be conducted in collaboration with the NGO selected for the implementation of the agroforestry extension program in the Pine Forest Reserve (para. 4.06). The objectives would be to investigate and develop sustainable land use technologies appropriate for areas of high altitude.  22 - (c) Research for Land Ha amntJ an orestrLI Poduti This component would include two pilot programs: (i) The Sekyane Diane Reforestation 4ilot Progr would have the objective of developing a methodology to reforest the waste lands in the Central Plateau and Northeast Haiti. Research would be implemented both on an identified 200 ha station and with rarmers on adjacent farnms, to whom technical assistance and tree seeditngs would be provided; and (ii) The Dry Forest Manaeement Pilot Program would have the objective of developing technology for increasing the production from semi-arid forest areas. Since such areas are used for uncontrolled grazing, the experiments would investigate mechanisms for managing stocking levels with the view to increasing both wood and livestock production. The experiments would be implemented both on a research station and with farmers. (d) Research Data Collection and Management. A data base/reference library would be established in the SRF which would collect and compile forestry and agroforestry research results in Haiti, and exchange findings with other interested agencies. 4.10 Inventories and Management of Protected Areas (Annex 6). Funds would be provided under the project for the SPE tot (a) carry out a nationwide inventory of forest resources, and identify potential new natic;ial parks and forest reserves; (b) manage the two existing national parks and create one additional park, and prGe~rve endangered species; and (c) establish and manage a data base on renewable natural resources and monitor land use trends in Haiti. Activities (a) and (b) would be implemented by SPE's two existing sections for research and iniyentories, and for preservation and national parks. One new section i. cartography and information services would be created under the projeAt r: Implement activity (c). SPE would be strengthened by additi,nal staff, an :Lternationally recruited resident ecologist provided through the mana6epvent firm as counterpart to the Service heaed for five years (para. 4.05 (s)), a variety of short-term c nsultants (Annex 6, and Axnex 10, Chart 4), sch.-arships, staff training, equipment purchases and financial support to iti .perations (estimated cost of US$2.3 million in"luded in the institvclonal strengthening program). Project supported specific activities (estimate- cost US$2.8 million) would be as followus . (a) InventoUies would include: (i) the assessment of national land use through the use of satellite imagery, aerial photographs and ground sunrey results; (il) the national inventory of forest resources, including sociocultural surveys and the establishment of permanent observation plots; and (iii) the identification of additional national parks and fLrest reserves on the basis of the data gathered during the above inventory and additional sociocultural. inventories and environmental profiles that would be prepared for each candidate area. As part of the project's Implementation Program, SPE would prepare recommendations for the creation of one additional national park by March 30, 1994 (para. 7.02 (e) (ii)). These recommendations would be reviewed during the mid-term evaluation of the project (para. 5.08).  - 23 - Assurances were obtained during negotiations that the Government would take all measures, including submission of legislation to Congress, if needed, to ensure MARNDR's control and management of the additional park lv' September 30, 1994 (para. 7.01 (b) (iii)). (b) Management of National Parks and Preservation of Endangered Species would include: (i) delimitation of national parks by a survey team of the General Tax Department of the Ministry of Economy and Finance under a contract with DRN, and subsequent demarcation by SPE; (ii) supervision and protection by a Park Supervisor assisted by a forestry technician permnnently stationed in each national park, a corps of civilian park rangers, agroforestry extension services provided by NGOs (para. 4.06), and through land leases to farmers; (iii) zoning and management of land use with the objectives of preserving biological diversity and ensuring rational land use; and (iv) preservation of endangered species. The latter would be supported through propagation of endangered species at a MARNDR owned farm (for lowland endemic plants), at the forest nursery in the Pine Forest Reserve in collaboration with the SRF (for highland species), and by including special "recovery" programs for threatened animal species in the management plans for the national parks and forest reserves; for example, by providing nest boxes for birds. In addition, endangered species and biological diversity would be protected by the improved administration of current wildlife regulations and laws, drafting additional legislation to protect the native flora, fauna and threatened habitats of the country, and seeking additional international assistance to purchase special parcels of threatened ecosystems which serve as habitat for rare, threatened, or endangered plants and animals. An internationally recruited conservation expert would periodically assist the SPE in the design and implementation of the preservation program (for details of such assistance see Annex 6 and Annex 10, Chart 4). Assurances were obtained during negotiations that the Government would take all measures, including submission of legislation to Congress, if needed, to ensure MARNDR's control and management of the La Visite and Pic Macaya national parks by September 30, 1992 (para. 7.01 (b) (i)). (c) The Establishment and Management of Data Bases on renewable natural resources would be implemented by a new SPE section for cartography and information services. It would centralize the inventory data collected under the project and other information related to renewable natural resources in Haiti, and make it available for general access in the form of data bases and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The data would be used to constantly monitor and evaluate land use trends. Household Energy Conservation Suboroject (Annex 9) 4.11 The household energy conservation subproject would implement over three years the "improved charcoal stoves" element of Haiti's proposed  - 24 - National Energy Plan, which is under preparation (para. 3.14). The component would be implemented by the Director of BME's Energy Sector Management Assistance Project and a conservation coordinator. As part of the project's Implementation Program the Governmenit would maintain these positions throughout the implementation period of the subproject staffed with persons whose qualifications and experience are acceptable to IDA (para. 7.02 (b) (ii)). It would be a condition of disbursement for the household energy conservation subproject, that a Director of the Energy Sector Nanagement Assistance Project and full-time conservation coordinator with te-me of reference, qualifications and experience acceptable to IDA, had been appointed in BNE to coordinate the activities under the subproject (para. 7.04 (b) (i)). 4.12 The objective of the household energy conservation subproject would be to achieve a 10Z reduction in the projected household demand for charcoal by encouraging the use of energy-efficient charcoal stoves. The target would be to have some 210,000 of such stoves in use by 1997. To achieve this, the subproject would focus on the development by BME of an improved larger stove (in addition to the existing "BME-model," see para. 3.13), train private stovemakersa carry out publicity and education campaigns9 monitor the quality and acceptance of the stoves produced by the private sector, evaluate charcoal savings and benefits, and provide limited institutional support to the BME. Artisan training, the publicity and education campaign, and monitoring and evaluation activities would be carried out by NG0O or contractors. As part of the Project's Implementation Program, BME would, before commencing these activities, enter into agreements with NGOs or contractors acceptable to IDA, and under terms and condicions acceptable to IDA (para. 7.02 (d)). 4.13 The subproject, estimated to cost US$0.8 million, would consist of the following five components: (a) New Product DeveloDment. An improved, simple charcoal stove has been developed and test-marketed successfully by the BME (para. 3.13), and would be promoted to replace the traditional small inefficient stove used in most urban households. In addition, efforts would be supported to develop a larger and more efficient elevated stove. This improved larger model would be expected to attract additional households to participate in the charcoal saving effort. The existing BME stove testing laboratory would be upgraded to facilitate the research and development work. It would be carried out with existing staff at the BRE, with the short-term technical assistance of a cookstove expert. As part of the project's Implementation Program, the cookstove expert would be internationally recruited by the BME by March 31, 1992 (para. 7.02 (c) (iv)); (b) Artisan Training. About 200 stovemakers and ironworkers from Port-au-Prince and other major cities, i.e., about half of Haiti's artisans presently involved in stove production, would be trained in the construction and marketing of the two improved stove models that would be promoted under the project. During training (courses  - 25 - would run for one week), artisans would receive a per diem (US$10 equivalent) to compensate them for lost production time. Participants who successfully complete the course would receive a tool kit, templates for cutting the metal pieces of the improved stove, fifty quality stickers and a graduation certificate. A EG0 would be contracted by the BHE to recruit participants and conduct the training sessions. The cookstove expert (sub-para. (a) above) would assist with the design and implementation of the first sessions; (c) Publicity and Education Cami5ain. A local public relations fins would be contracted by the BHE to educate the public about tho linkage between charcoal consumption and environmental degradation, and to promote the purchase of the improved stove models by households and food vendors; (d) Monitoring and Evaluation. A NGO would be contracted by BME too (i) conduct an initial consumer survey four months after the beginning of stove sales and the promotion campaign to assess: (1) whether the products are responding to consumer needs; (2) whether they are being used properly8 and (3) whether other officiency improvement measures included in the public education campaign are being adopted; (ii) undertake quality control spot- checks by periodically visiting all producers of the new stoves and checking whether a bonafide improved modrl is being produced, and if so, distributing to them quality control stickers to attach to future stoves; (iii) collect data on stove production, sales and selling prices that would be compiled in a quarterly report to the BME; and (iv) prepare an interim evaluation report at the mid-term of the subproject by Marcb 30, 1993, and a completion report of the subproject by September 30, 1994, which estimate total charcoal savings and other benefits due to use of the improved stoves, and provide data on the percentage of improved stove users who switch back to traditional cooking equipment or to petroleum products, and the reasons why they did so; and (e) Institutional Supoort to BME. To develop its institutional capabilities, the BME would be supported through staff training, equipment and hiring of fixed-term personnel. Training would include a two-week study tour for two senior staff to visit successful cookstove dissemination programs in other countries. Equipment would consist of material to upgrade the stove testing laboratory, a four-wheel-drive vehicle and funds for operating and maintenance expenses, and at the end of the publicity campaign, receipt of the stove promotion van used by the public relations firm which would have been financed under the project. Additional fixed-term personnel, which would be hired and financed under the project, would include an energy economist, an administrative assistant and one driver for the three-year life of the subproject. In addition to conservation-related responsibilities, the energy economist would periodically assess the economic value of wood and charcoal, and provide this information to the MhARNDR, to guide them  - 26 - in the setting and administration of the charcoal tax (para. 4.05 (d)). Proiect Cost and Financing 4.14 The total project cost is estimated at US$29.0 million equivalent (US$25.3 million base cost plus US$1.2 million physical and US$2.4 million price contingencies) including about US$0.8 million (2.7% of total costs) advanced to the Government through the Project Preparation Facility. These costs are allocated for: (i) institutional support, technical assistance and training for the DRN and its Forestry and Environmental Protection Services (US$10.0 million base cost, or 39.4% of project basa cost, of which training US$1.7 million); (ii) specific program activitiess agroforestry extension (US$5.1 million base cost, or 20.3% of project cost, including a water resource development pilot program of US$0.7 million); forest management (US$4.4 million base cost, or 17.5% of project cost), forestry/agroforestry research (US$1.9 million base cost or 7.7% of project cost) and the establishment and management of protected areas (US$2.4 million, or 9.5% of project cost); and (iii) support to the BME for the implementation of the program to conserve domestic wood energy (US$0.7 million base cost, or 2.7% of project cost). Pro4ect costs were based on projected January 1991 prices. Because of macroeconomic instability and, until recently, an administered exchange rate, costs are presented in US dollars; US dollars have been used for costing all off-shore procurement and consultancy services; local costs have been converted at the official exchange rate of early 1i9O of G 5/US$1. Physical contingencies have been applied as follows: 152 for civil works, and 5% for all other cost items, except salaries, for which no physical contingency has been included. Price contingencies are based on the Bank's projections for international inflation (dated Hay 1991), estimated at an average of 3.9% per annum for the period 1990 to 2000. 4.15 The proposed IDA credit of SDR19.7 million (US$26.1 million equivalent) would finance 89.9% of total project cost; the balance of SDR 2.2 million (US$2.9 million equivalent) would be financed by the Government of Haiti (see para. 4.16 below). Because of Haiti's very limited fiscal resources (para. 3.04), eligible local project costs would be financed 100% from the credit to ensure continuity of project operations. Without this level of support, the project would not be feasible under the current circumstances in Haiti. 4.16 The Government would continue to provide the staff required for the implementation of the project that is already in post from the previous project and financed from the MARNDR's regular budget. The average cost per year of these salaries would amount to about US$0.4 million per year (details see Table 1.16 in Annux 1). In addition, the Government would, over the life of the project, gradually increase the annual budgetary contribution to MARNDR to allow the phased incorporation of project funded permanent positions into the regular MARNDR establishment and budget. As part of the project's Implementation Program, the Government would: (i) make additional annual allocations to the MARNDR regular budget to cover an increasing share of the salaries for specified incremental staff that would be needed for the project and its sustained operations thereafter, in accordance with the program given  27 in Table 1.15 of Annex 1 (para. 7002 (g) (i)). The Goverrament'o share in '-8AL funding of these incremental salaries would uacrease from zero in year 1991/(.' to: 9X (US$56,000) in 1992/93; 20Z (US$124,000) in 1993/94; 332 (US$209,000) in 1994/95; 53X (US$335,000) in year 1995/96; and 1001 (US$630,000) from year 1996/97 onwards; and (ii) incorporate into IARNDR9s budget all other recurrent project costs after year 5 (1996/97) of the project (para. 7.02 (g) (ii)). The transfer to local funding of the project recurrent activities would be facilitated by the reform of the woodfuels taxation system that would be expected to yield additional revenues for forestry operations (para. 4.05 (c)) and the beginning sales of forestry products. The project's total annual recurrent costs after year five of the project, in 1996/97 constant values, are estimated at US$1.4 million per year, composed of US$0.8 million in incremental salaries and allowances and US$0.6 million in incremental operating expenditures. This would correspond to about 152 of HARNDR's operational budget for 1990. 4.17 A condition of credit effectiveness would be that a DRN subproject account had been established at a bank acceptable to IDA with an initial deposit of US$0.35 million equivalent, to cover the estimated average local funding requirement for project activities during a three-month period (para. 7.03 (b)). 4.18 Total project costs and project financing are shown in Annex 1, Tables 1.1 to 1.17, and are summarized in Table 1: Table 1: Project Costs and Financing (US$ million, including contingencies) Total Gover- of Total IDA of Total Cost _ ment Costs Credit Costs PPF 0.8 2.7 - - 0.8 2.7 (i) Institutional Strengthening (a) Directorate of Natural Resources 4.4 15.3 0.3 1.0 4.1 14.3 (b) Forestry Resources Service 2.8 9.5 0.8 2.6 2.0 6.9 (c) Environmental Protection Service 2.3 7.9 0.3 1.1 2.0 6.8 (d) Training 1.8 6.5 0.1 0.5 1.7 6.0 Subtotal 11.3 39.2 1.5 5.2 9.8 34.0 (ii) Specific ProRrams: (a) Agroforestry Extension Extension Services 5.2 17.9 - - 5.2 17.9 Water Resource Development 0.9 3.0 - - 0.9 3.0 (b) Forest Management 5.0 17.3 0.8 2.7 4.2 14.6 (c) Forestry Research 2.2 7.6 0.4 1.3 1.8 6.3 (d) Protected Areas 2.8 9.6 0.2 0.7 2.6 8.9 Subtotal 16.1 55.4 1.4 4.7 14.7 50.7 (1li) Household Ener2M Conservation 0.8 2.7 0.1 a/ 0.2 0.7 2.5 Total 29.0 100.0 2.9 10.1 26.1 89.9 0=0= 00000 13000 BOOED 0000 00 a/ Rounded up from US$52,000.  - 28 PrEScuremen 4.19 Procurement arrangemento are summarized in Table 2: Table 2s P (US$ million including contigencies) Procurement Nethod Total Project lement ILCB Other .A.

ICB, in accordance with Bank guidelines, would be used for the procurement of civil works to reconstruct part of MARNDR's headquarters building estimated to cost US$0.7 million. Domestic bidders for such would be granted a margin of preference of 7.51. Other civil works, e.g., school facilities in various places, water development subprojects, the rehabilitation of the access and internal roads for the La Visite National Park and in the Pine Forest Reserve and buildings in the national parks, estimated to cost between US$50,000 and no more than US$250,000 each, and in total not more than US$2.1 million, would be procured on the basis of local competitive bidding procedures acceptable to IDA. Because of the minor scope of these works and their scattered location, they would not attract international contractors. Small works such as for nurseries and guard houses, estimated to cost less than US$50,000 each and in total not more than  - 29 - US$0.6 million, would be procured by local shopping procedures acceptable to IDA involving at least three quotations. Vehicles andt Acuitmnt. Vehicles9 estimated to cost about US$1.5 million in total, would be procured through ICB in lots of at least US$500,000 each. Equipment contracts estimated to cost more than US$100,000 each and US$0.6 million in total, would also be procured under ICB. Small equipment contracts, estimated to cost between US$15,000 and US$100,000 each, and US$0.2 million in total, would be procured under LCB procedures acceptable to IDA. Equipment contracts estimated to cost less than US$15,000 each and not exceeding a total of US$0.1 million, would be procured using local shopping procedures acceptable to IDA, based on at least three price quotations. Consultants. IDA-financed consultants, including NGOs, would be hired in accordance with the Auaust 1981 Guidelines-for the Use of Consultants by World Bank Borrowers and by The World Bank as Executing Agency (para. 5.05). 4.21 All procurement activities under the project would be administered by DRN's project unit headed by the project administrator and the financial manager. Prior review and comment by IDA would be required for: (i) all ICB procurement; (ii) all LCB contracts for civil works estimated to cost more than US$100,000 each; and (iii) all LCB equipment contracts estimated to cost more than US$50,000 each. Disbursement 4.22 The proceeds of the proposed IDA credit would be disbursed over seven and one half years, in line with the disbursement profile of June 1991 for agriculture sector projects in Haiti against the following categories of expenditure, all of which would be disbursed at 100% of expenditure, except for imported items procured locally under category (b) which would be disbursed at 85% of local expenditure: (a) contracts for civil works; (b) equipment and vehicles; (c) increment.l salaries and allowances; (d) recurrent costs; (e) consultants services, scholarships and overseas training; (f) extension consultants; (g) water development subprojects; and (h) refunding of a US$750,000 PPF. Categories (b), (d), and (e) would each be divided between expenditures to be made by the DRN and the BME. 4.23 Disbursement against incremental salaries and allowances (category (c)) would be subject to annual ceilings as follows: Period of Payment by the Goverment USS Equivalent before September 30, 1992 1,000,000 between October 1, 1992 and September 30, 1993 1,0009000 between October 1, 1993 and September 30, 1994 930,000 between October 1, 1994 and September 30, 1995 865,000 between October 1, 1995 and September 30, 1996 450,000 4.24 Disbursements against all contracts for civil works costing more than US$1009000 each, and for equipment and vehicles costing more than $50,000 each, would be based on full documentation. For all other categories disburseaments would be made against statements of expenditure, for which  - 30 - supporting documents would be maintained by DRN and BNE and would be made available for review by IDA staff. 4.25 It would be a condition of disbursement for the water development subproject that IDA had approved the site selection, and the management and implementation procedures (para. 4.07 and 7.04 (a)). 4.26 It would be conditions of disbursement for the household energy conservation subproject that: (i) a Director of BME's Energy Sector Management Assistance Project and a full-time conservation coordinator had been appointed by the BME (see also para. 4.11); (ii) an account for the BME subproject had been established at a bank acceptable to IDA; and (iii) an initial deposit of the equivalent of US$50,000 had been made into the BME subproject account (para. 7.04 (b)). Accounts and Audit 4.27 Assurances were obtained at negotiations that: (i) separate subproject accounts would be maintained by DRN and BHE to reflect all project expenditure; (ii) these accounts would be audited annually by independent auditors acceptable to IDA, with special opinion expressed on the statements of expenditures; (iii) the audited accounts for each fiscal year would be submitted to IDA no later than six months after the close of the fiscal year; and (iv) additional audits of more limited scope, including a statement by the auditors on the compliance with the covenants under the Development Credit Agreement, would be prepared and submitted quarterly to IDA (para. 7.02 (h)). V. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION Organization and Management 5.01 Overall Coordination. The principal organizational units involved in the project include: (i) the Ministry of Economy and Finance as the Borrower of the credit on behalf of Haiti; (ii) the MARNDR with its Directorate of Natural Resources and the Forestry and Environmental Protection Services; and (iii) the BME. Responsibility for the day-to-day coordination, including the preparation end supervision of work programs, reporting and overall technical aspects would rest with the implementing agencies. A project administration unit located within DRN would coordinate the institutional strengthening and the forestry and environmental programs in HARNDR. The Director of the BME's Energy Sector Management Assistance Project, assisted by a full-time conservation coordinator (para. 4.11) would be responsible for the management and coordination of the household energy conservation subproject. 5.02 Ministry of Agriculture. Natural Resources and Rural Develonment. Management of the forestry and environmental protection components of the project would be delegated by the Minister to the Director of Natural Resources in the MARNDR. The management capacity of the office of the Director of the DRN would be reinforced by a deputy director and a project unit composed of a project administrator and two advisors recruited for the  - 31 - duration of the project through an international firm of management consultants, counterpart and support staff, transport, equipment and new office facilities (para. 4.05). DRN would interact with other agencies of the NARNDR that would be affected by project activities, in particular its Director General who has the responsibility for MARNDR's field offices, and the Director for Administration, who is responsible for staff recruitment and administration. It was agreed during negotiations that: (i) project implementation and financing would be on the basis of detailed annual work programs and budgets that would be prepared by the project's implementing services and compiled by DRN; (ii) DRN would submit to IDA the proposed annual work programs and budgets no later than July 31 of each year for IDA's review and comment; and (iii) advise IDA of any subsequent addition or modifications in the program content, cost and scheduling and seek IDA approval (para. 7.03 (i)). It was also agreed during negotiations that any changes to the Organic Law of MARNDR that would materially and adversely affect the project, will constitute an event of suspension (para. 7.05). 5.03 The day-to-day implementation of the annually specified work programs of the DRN subproject would be the responsibility of the service chiefs for Forestry and Environmental Protection, who would report to the Director of the DRN. Within the services, specialized sections, whose heads report to the Service Chiefs, would perform specific activities of the forestry and environmental programs. The project would provide the material and human resources to strengthen these two services and those sections that implement project supported programs. These sections already exist, except the proposed new section for cartography and information services in the SPE, but are understaffed and underfunded. 5.04 Bureau of Mines and Energy. Similar to DRN within the MARNDR, BME would operate as part of the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications, implementing through its Energy Sector Management Assistance Project and technical support from the project management firm or other sources, the household energy conservation subproject on the basis of annual work programs and budgets (para. 7.02 (i)). BME's management capacity would also be strengthened by the appointment of a full-time conservation coordinator (para. 4.11), a two-year assignment of a locally recruited energy economics and planning advisor, vehicles and equipment, and short-term consultants (paras. 4.11 and 4.13 (e)). Technical Assistance and Consultancies 5.05 Project implementation would be ri cilitated by a large number of both long- and short-term domestic and internationally recruited concultants. A listing of project financed consultants, and studies and reports that would be prepared under the project is in Annex 10, Chart 4. To the maximum extent possible, technical specialists required for project implementation would be hired by the firm selected as management consultants for the project (para. 4.05 (a)). In order to avoid conflicts of interest, consultants for monitoring and supervision functions, such as for the annual monitoring of the environmental approaches and impact of project activities, as well as for the preparation of the mid-term and end-evaluations of the project, would not be recruited through the management firm (paras. 5.07 and 5.08). It was agreed  32 during negotiations that the selection and appointment of the management firm, and the specialists recruited through the firm, as well as individually hired consultants or other firms/agencies/N4GOs, would be consistent with the Aguaut 1981 Guidelines -for the Use-of Consultants bv World Bank Borrowers and bv the World Bank as Executing Agency (paras. 4.20 and 7.02 (c) (i)). Monitoring, Progress Reporting, and Evaluation 5.06 Continuous monitoring of the MARNDR project activities would be carried out by the project unit in DRNI, which would undertake corrective actions, advise the implementing units on necessary actions, and inform higher levels of Government on project issues and performance. DRN's project unit would prepare and submit to IDA by May 30 and November 30 of each year semiannual progress reports on all activities carried out under the project, including the household energy conservation subproject, based on the individual reports from the implementing agencies and services both in DRN and BME. The progress reports would compare actual project implementation with the approved Annual Work Programs and Buugets9 and highlight issues and problems of project implementation and outline possible corrective actions, for comment by the Government, IDA and monitoring agencies. 5.07 To monitor the project's environmental aspects and support implementation of the environmental protection prigrams, an experienced and highly respected external agency, such as the University of Florida, which is involved in implementing a USAID supported natural park management program in Haiti, would 'be hired by DRNo This agency, through its specialized staff and consultants, would provide comments and recommendations on the annual work programs and budgets, review and comment on progress reports, and participate in project evaluations. Agency staff would travel to Haiti at least once a year during the third quarter to coincide with the preparation of the Annual Work Programs. As part of the project's Implementation Program, it was agreed at negotiations that DRN would hire the external monitoring agency by March 31, 1992, under terms and conditions acceptable to IDA (para. 7.02 (c) (vi)). 5.08 The Government, with assistance from independent consultants, would also carry out a mid-term review of on project performance, the results of which would provide the basis for necessary adjustments in project design and funding allocation. It was agreed during negotiations that the mid-term evaluation would be completed by March 31, 1994 (para. 7.02 (k)). To accomplish this: (i) independent consultants to assist in the evaluation would be hired by October 1, 1993; and (ii) the draft report would be available for review by IDA by February 1, 1994. As a standard requirement of IDA lending, the Borrower shall also prepare a Project Completion Report at the end of the project investment period. 5.09 Project supervision b- IDA would require a larger than usual staff input, estimated at about 18 staffweeks on mission per year (see Annex 10, Chart 2)o Regular supervision missions should include an agriculturalist/forester/environmentalist, a financial analyst, and an energy planner.  - 33 - VI. PROJECT BENEFITS. INPACT AND RISKS enefits 6.01 The project wo-ld generate benefits froms (a) timber production as a result of the management of the Pine Forest5 (b) incremental crops and tree production as a result of the agroforestry extension services; 'c) savings of charcoal consumption as a result of the promotion of more efficient stoves; and (d) institutional strengthening that would pave the way 7or Haiti to oxpand its programs to improve its natural resource base. 6.02 The Pine Forest incremental production, both from existing stands and plantations or natural regeneration and estimated over a period of 50 years, would irnclude about 765,000 ma of saw timber, 2.2 million poles of 20 cm diameter, 1.75 million poles of 10 cm diameter, 2.6 million bags of charcoal, and 85,600 Christmas trees. It could be assumed that without tha type of support provided under the project, the Pine Forest, one of the last contiguous forested areas of the country, would disappear and the investments made under the previous pilot project would be lost. The value of this forest far exceeds the relative low returns obtained from its expected timber production, and includes the conservation of an important watershed, habitat for fauna and flora, and touristic potential, which are not quantified. 6.03 The agroforestry extension services provided would induce some 16. 000 farmers in the project areas to apply on-farm soil conservation measures, mainly use of grasses and hedgerow cultivation, plant timber and fruit trees, and use improved seed of maize and beans. The recommended combination of these measures would vary according to the location and the steepness of the slopes. The meacures would generally aim 9* stabilizing and increasing gross farm income without a significant increase n farm costs apart from the incremental labor needed to plant trees and establish hedgerows, and the relatively small effect of harvesting additional products and a heavier crop. The project would, as an incenitive to farmers, and because farm credit is not available, support the farmer's efforts by the supply of tree seedlings and hedgerow seed, either free of charge or at a nominal cost and, for the first year of the farmer's participation in the program, of improved maize and bean seed. 6.04 The benefits the farmer obtains from the agroforestry extension program would consist oft (i) stemming the future decline in soil fertility; (ii) improving the current levels of soil fertility; (iii) acquiring tree products (firewood, poles, fruits); (iv) increasing the availability of fodder for livestock; and (v) harvesting larger crops by using improved seed varieties. For highland farms on flatter land (up to a 302 slope), where the erosion impact is less and the hedgerow cultivation not required, farmers would be cxpected to increase their net income, with labor input costed at the market price of US$1/day, between 10 and 202 over the without project situation. Farms on steeper slopes (302-60%) who participate in the extension program would be expected to stabilize their declining net incomes. If the proposed measures to stop soil erosion are not taken on these farms, their net income would be expected to decline by some 302-50%. For farmers only  - 34 - adopting tree planting, such as expected in the Belle Anse area, benefits would be much lower. 6.05 The value of investing in extension services for farmers in these critical areas, which are to be protected, by far exceeds the incremental production expected from these farms, which is attractive to individual farmers but marginal overall. The provision of free technical assistance is important to halt the decline in their productivity and incom2e due to environmental degradation, and relieve the pressure on them to seek alternative income, including from indiscriminate exploitation and destruction of common (State) land, and to move towards the cities. Support services are also needed to make the farmers cooperate in the effective implementation of the restrictive land use regulation3 and land leases to be introduced in protected areas, and to use them as allies of the administration and buffer against illegal intruders from the outside. 6.06 The household energy conservation subproject has an estimated ERR of 57Z, and the improved circular charcoal stove ("BME-model") has a simple payback time of 55 days, based on savings of 9.8 kg of charcoal per month. By 1997, the subproject would result in annual savings of nearly 17,000 m ton of charcoal, or over 102 of projected consumption. This would be equivalent to 135,000 m3 of wood, or the sustained production from about 17,000 ha of fuelwood plantations. Even though the project would not include large-scale reforestation, because the technologies and institutional arrangements are not yet available, the project's incremental forest production, both from State managed forests and from the private farms, will increase the sustainable woodfuel supply for subsistence and for sale. On the demand side, charcoal consumption in urban areas would be reduced by 10% following the large-scale introduction of energy-efficient stoves. In addition, the policy planning, legal framework review, and taxation measures would contribute to move towards economic pricing of woodfuels (charcoal is currently grossly underpriced financially) and the generation of revenues for continued investment in forestry and environmental protection. 6.07 The institutional strengthening aspects of the project would lead to improvements of the overall framework for the development and protection of forest resources and natural parks through policy and legal reforms, training of professionals, research and pilot projects, and demarcation, inventories and guard services for protected areas. It would integrate agroforestry extension activities into the functions of the Government and provide a framework by which agroforestry could be expanded as capacity grows and additional external support is forthcoming in the context of the TFAP. The development of institutions and technologies under the project would lay the ground for more ambitious programs at a later stage, including for larger- scale reforestation and water development programs. The costs of not undertaking the protective measures proposed under the project would be extremely high. Without the type of assistance to be provided under the project, the chance to preserve and develop the two national parks in the high mountains, and to identify and create additional forest and biosphere reserves could be missed in view of the strong pressure for cutting of fuelvood, crop production and grazing.  - 35 _ Environmental Impact 6.08 The overall environmental impact of tho project would be to: (i) reduce the speed of land degradation, in particular the decline in soil productivity, los of land suitable for agriculture and foresery, and water retention; and (ii) maintain the habitat for unique forest ecosystems with rare or endangered species of f:ora and fauna, and for human settl6ment; (iii) generate additional production on a sustained basis (fuelvood, poles, fruits, food crops and fodder); and (iv) reduce the demand for charcoal. This would be achieved through the following actions and their impact: (a) taking stock of existing natutral resources in Haiti through inventories, surveys an.- the creation of a data base. This would provide a basis for settirg priorities and defining future policy adjustments and investments; (b) setting aside and restricting access to protect and manage forest ecosystems and natural parks. This would tend to stem further destruction of these areas by indiscriminating tree cutting, grazing and agricultural uses (c) zoning of land use in protected areas (biosphere concept). This would improve land use by defining the optimal use of these protected areas in balance between the interests of preservation of ecosystems and the sustainable utilization of the resource for forestry, agriculture, grazing and, potentially, tourism; (d) implementing conservation measures, e.g., in the core zones of the biosphere reserves (absolute protection), and on special sites to preserve the gene stock and for multiplication. This would allow the preservation of vital ecosystems, and rare and endangered plant and animal species; and (e) regulating private land use in protected areas through: (i) Government provided protective services (forest and park rangers) for law enforcement; (ii) a land lease system which would enhance land tenure security and private investment in conservation measures, while providing a contractual relationship that would allow the application of zoning regulations, and some cost recovery; and (iii) the provision of agricultural support services (exteriion, input supply, small civil works for water supply) that would ;romote soil and water conservation, farm forestry, use of improved seeds, and foster farmer organizations. The combined impact of these measures would be to increase investment, production and income on a sustained basis for the benefit of the population already settled in these protected areas. 6.09 In addition, the project would improve soil productivity and the cultivation of existing traditional crops by conservation measures and tree planting, and not through the use of agrochemicals. Aside from some thinning operations in the Pine Forest to enhance growth of the existing stands, no logging would be undertaken during the implementation period of the project.  - 36 - Existing roads in the Pine Forest would be maintained. Road access to the La Visite Park would be improved, but only through an indirect route from the South, which because of its distance from Port-au-Prince would not attract visitors. Risks 6.10 The main risks of the project relate tos (i) uncertain political stability which may impact on the management and functioning of the implementing agencies; (ii) institutional weaknesses of Government agencies and Government commitment to streamline the operations of DRN and BME and implement the policy agenda. To minimize the risks, the project's objectives and scale of operations have been kept in line with the institutional reality, in spite of the unquestionable need to progress more rapidly; conditionality for employment of senior staff in the implementing agencies would be introduced; payment from the credit for incremental salaries and allowances would be subject to ainual ceilings, and permanently required staff would be gradually transferred from credit to Government funding to ensure sustainability; technical assistance would be hired where local expertise is not available; to alleviate the Government's management and supervision .equirements, an international firm of consultants would be employed to provide the technical assistance and virtually all consultants; contrectors would be used wherever possible to avoid financially not sustainable build-up of bureaucratic structures; work programs and budgets would be annually agreed with IDA; and a mid-term review of the performance of the project would be used to redesign the project as required.
