The IDB Group's Country Strategy with Belize for 2022-2025 aims to help Belize recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and support efforts towards achieving resilient, inclusive, and sustainable long-term growth. The strategy focuses on three key areas:
- Fiscal sustainability and management
- Private sector productivity and sustainable growth, particularly for MSMEs
- Human capital, with dialogues on migration and citizen security
Additionally, cross-cutting issues such as gender and diversity, institutional capacity, rule of law, digital transformation, and climate change and disaster risk management will be integrated into these priority areas.
This strategy has been developed through extensive dialogue with Belizean authorities and civil society, addressing the urgent need for faster, sustainable, and inclusive growth to mitigate crisis impacts and tackle longstanding development challenges.
Country strategies remain valid for one year beyond the stated period, as they remain active throughout the preparation of the following strategy.
