Partnerships at the IDB

Newsletter Header

Emerging economies must fill a US$2.5 trillion financing gap to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Because the international public sector cannot fill this gap alone, partnerships are essential to financing the 2030 Agenda.

The IDB’s Office of Outreach and Partnerships is dedicated to achieving this goal. Through our offices in Madrid, Tokyo, and Washington, DC, we work with governments, companies, academia, foundations, and others to forge and maintain partnerships that can fill this gap and advance the SDGs. In the past three years, we have helped mobilize an annual average of $4 billion in resources from 400+ organizations, all of which are allocated to projects that improve lives in the region.

Why Partnerships?

Today’s challenges are too complex for any organization to tackle alone. That’s why the IDB created the Office of Outreach in Partnerships (ORP) in 2008, establishing one of the first-ever partnership teams in the international development realm.

Today, the power of partnerships is universally recognized. ORP is a testament to the IDB’s commitment to the international call for partnerships for development, which is now reflected in the Paris Climate Accords, the Sustainable Development Goals, the Billions to Trillions Movement, and the G20 Mandate.
