Country Strategy

Together, IDB staff and Bolivia determine how Bolivia’s priorities coincide with the Bank’s development strategies for the region. The product of that process is the IDB country strategy with Bolivia, containing the Bank’s expected program for Bolivia for 2011-2015.

Country strategies include an overview of the country’s current economic situation. They draw on analytical work conducted by the Bank and other parties on a wide range of economic and social sectors, such as rural and urban development, health, education, government modernization, transportation, trade, and the environment, among others.

Country Strategy with Bolivia 2011-2015

This country strategy is aligned with the national priorities defined in Bolivia’s National Development Plan 2006-2011 (NDP), which established the areas and sectors regarded as priorities by the current administration. The latter identifies seven strategic areas of cooperation for the 2011-2015 period: transportation, water and sanitation, energy, early childhood development (ECD), health, education, and the strengthening of public governance. Actions on behalf of indigenous people and climate change issues are also envisaged, as crosscutting areas of support.
