The development of Guidelines for ecosystem-based and hybrid solutions as layers of protection for resilient transport infrastructure assets that will contribute to aligning infrastructure investments with layer of protection principles using ecosystem-based and hybrid solutions. The guidelines shall:
a) outline how the countrys resilience to natural hazards, adaptation to climate change and economic growth can be achieved with ecosystem-based solutions,
b) assist the counterpart institutions in the development of an ecosystem-based (including hybrid) infrastructure strategy in the areas of i) transport and other public infrastructure assets in landslide-prone areas; ii) public infrastructure assets affected by coastal, pluvial and fluvial flooding and erosion; and
c) provide local scale guidance for the selection, design, implementation, and maintenance of ecosystem-based and hybrid infrastructure protection specific to the Haitian context. This should be taking into consideration the existing habitats and plant species that can be introduced or conserved to mitigate risks, as well as existing capacities among local suppliers and counterpart institutions.
