In December of 1999, the Regional Policy Dialogue
was created as an initiative of the Inter-American Development Bank's
Board of Directors with the aim of establishing a space for the expansion
and exploration of dialogue between borrowing member countries. The
Bank envisioned the Regional Policy Dialogue as a mechanism that
would contribute to the exchange of experiences between countries,
prepare them to face the vast challenges of globalization, and generate
processes for regional cooperation.
Aside from various consultations with the borrowing member countries,
the finance and economic ministries that exercised their statutory
representation before the Assembly of Governors, and other mechanisms
in which a sizeable group of relevant social actors can participate,
the Bank did not have a means for the promotion of intense dialogue
between high level officials of public institutions involved in the
implementation of policy in key sectors. |
