The strategy document (GN-2241-1) was favorably reviewed by the IDB Board of Executive Directors on July 23, 2003.
The IDB?s Eighth Capital Replenishment and the Institutional Strategy have identified social development as a key element of the Bank?s commitment to fight poverty and inequality, promote growth and improve well-being in the region. The Social Development Strategy heeds these calls as well as the recent pledge countries have made to fulfill the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The objective of the strategy is to help countries accelerate social progress by fostering human and social environments conducive to the well being of the population, with special emphasis in the reduction of poverty and inequities in opportunities, especially inequities based on gender, ethnicity, race and disability, among others. It seeks advancements in the well being of all and greater proportional advancements in the well-being of the poor and excluded.
