Office of External Relations

The Office of External Relations (EXR) heads all external and internal strategic communications for the Bank, including corporate communications and positioning, branding, content and message development, stakeholder and media relations, risk/crisis management communications, and development communications, as well as communications in support of partnership-building and the IDB’s social responsibility platform. EXR is divided in the Communications Management Division and the Information Management Division.

EXR serves as the principal advisory unit to the president for ensuring that the public in the member countries is kept adequately informed of the IDB's activities by disseminating the Bank’s policies, programs and projects to gain broader support and understanding for IDB development agenda. The office manages all media production and distribution, including television programs, the IDB website, and IDB publications, and the administration of the Bank’s policy on disclosure of information.
