Sustainable Economic Growth. Strategy Document
By RES & SDS (07/03, GN-2227-1, En, Es) See also Environment and Natural Resources
The strategy document (GN-2227-1) was favorably reviewed by the IDB Board of Executive Directors on July 23, 2003.
The objective of the Sustainable Economic Growth Strategy is to contribute to increase the growth rates of per capita GDP and income in the Region, under conditions that lead to improving the quality of life of the population, alleviating poverty, and preserving or improving the natural resource base. The strategy is fully consistent with the agreements of the 2002 Johannesburg Summit (that define environmental protection and social and economic development as fundamental to sustainable development); adopts a multidimensional focus, establishing relations with the priority areas of action of the Bank (Competitiveness, Modernization of the State, Social Development, and Regional Integration) and takes into account the crosscutting nature of the environmental dimension to achieve sustainable economic growth. This strategy is consistent with the Strategy for Poverty Reduction and Promotion of Social Equity, which promotes the advancement of poverty alleviation through targeted actions to address its origins, and to promote inclusion and a greater social equity.
