LET’S WORK TOGETHER

In a few short weeks, COVID-19 has evolved into a global challenge with grave, widespread implications. As such, it calls for coordinated, collaborative, multi-stakeholder solutions that leverage the financial resources, expertise, and comparative advantages of diverse actors.

The IDB Group is aligning efforts with its broad network of partners to alleviate the negative impacts of COVID-19 and bolster the Latin American and Caribbean region’s response to this threat.

Please contact us if you would like to join us in addressing immediate and long term needs, we can be reached at: partnerships@iadb.org

WHY WORK WITH US

The IDB Group has a long history of working in strategic partnerships.
