The Country Office of Argentina focuses on assisting the most vulnerable segments of the population affected by the economic crisis and COVID-19 pandemic, while also helping to stabilize the macroeconomic environment and fostering an agenda of economic recovery and sustained poverty reduction.
Argentina’s Country Strategy for 2021-2023 is structured into four strategic areas:
(i) Poverty reduction and social protection for the most vulnerable population;
(ii) Economic recovery and productive development 4.0;
(iii) Macroeconomic stability and effectiveness of public policy; and
(iv) Digital transformation as a crosscutting development priority.
Each area includes crosscutting development challenges related to gender and diversity, and environmental sustainability.
