The Inter-American Bank has launched a program to foster infrastructure investment in the Region, which has slowed down in the past few years. This is critical as the quality, price and coverage of infrastructure determine whether or not a country will succeed at raising the well being of the population as a whole and the competitiveness needed to survive in an increasingly integrated world. The specific objectives of the IDB program are to: a) raise awareness of central and local government authorities of the substantial investments in infrastructure required; b) identify major obstacles that have hindered investments in the sector; and c) discuss solutions that will enable countries in the region to increase investments with relevant stakeholders.
