The Access to Information Policy is an instrument approved by the IDB’s Board and designed to raise the Bank's standards of transparency to the highest level of international practices, thereby allowing greater accountability in the execution of its projects and activities.
If you are interested in employment at the IDB, you should read the Bank’s careers webpage. There you will find job openings, information concerning internships and the Young Professionals Program, and application procedures. In addition, you will be able to create and regularly update a personal profile and upload relevant information (CV, cover letter, among others).
While the majority of the Bank´s loans are made to sovereign governments in the region, an important and growing part of the Bank´s lending activity is for projects proposed directly by private-sector entities. Companies should explore the Resources for Businesses page. The department within the Bank that a non-profit or business should contact will depend largely on the size of the organization (large businesses, medium-sized companies, small non-profits, etc.). Civil society organizations may seek financing from the IDB, either through the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF) or through trust funds endowed by governments and other third parties and administered by the Bank (see our Trust Funds page), or by consulting the Calls for Proposals listings on the Bank´s homepage. A broad description of the Bank’s grant and technical assistance products and programs is available here. Civil society organizations should read all information posted on the website before contacting our civil society team at soc_civil@iadb.org.
Individuals or firms interested in contracting opportunities for the supply of goods, works or services to IDB-financed projects (“project” procurement) or directly to the IDB (“corporate” procurement) should check the Bank’s Resources for Businesses page and proceed to the section labeled “Procurement”.
