SOUTHERN CONE (CSC)
OVERVIEW
The Bank works with the three levels of government, focusing on subnational agencies in particular. Issues such as regional cooperation and integration, respect for biodiversity, and efforts to reduce regional economic inequalities, with greater emphasis on the Northeast and North, provide a crosscutting orientation to the Bank’s action in Brazil. The strategy’s respect for diversity in Bank-financed operations and activities, taking gender and racial factors into account, is one of its key guiding criteria.
