The IDB country strategy with Barbados for the 2025-2030 period aims to accelerate progress towards inclusive growth and resilience. The strategy is structured around three pillars that are mutually reinforcing:
- Further revitalize the economy and promote inclusive sustainable growth.
- Enhance social resilience to thrive in a changing world.
- Build climate resilience and promote energy transformation.
While the first pillar focuses on unlocking economic growth through higher productivity, the second and third pillars aim to build resilience. Increased resilience enhances the ability to withstand shocks, thereby mitigating the impact of economic downturns.
In addition, the country strategy includes three cross-cutting themes to be mainstreamed in the interventions, which are promoting gender equality and diversity, boosting innovation, and strengthening institutional capacity.
Country strategies remain valid for one year beyond the stated period, as they remain active throughout the preparation of the following strategy.
