The Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB Group) Country Strategy with Ecuador for 2026–2030 contributes to Ecuador’s economic growth by prioritizing: (i) private investment promotion, (ii) human capital strengthening, and (iii) institutional capacity strengthening. Crosscutting themes—including (i) the inclusion of vulnerable populations and (ii) climate resilience and response to natural disasters—are embedded throughout.
Aligned with IDB Group’s Institutional Strategy, Ecuador’s National Development Plan 2025-2029 and the Ecuador 2040 Growth Agenda, the Country Strategy promotes private sector-led growth through a programmatic approach that aligns interventions across sectors to ensure coherence, enable scalability, and sustain impact over time.
