Strategy and Projects

The IDB has been a pivotal development partner in Bolivia for over six decades. The Country Strategy with Bolivia for the 2022-2025 period is a comprehensive roadmap aimed at continuing to support the country in addressing challenges outlined in the Economic and Social Development Plan 2021-2025.

This strategy identifies three primary pillars: 

  1. Economic Reconstruction and Enhancing Productivity 
  2. Diversification of Productive Activities
  3. Inclusive and Sustainable Social Development. 


These pillars will enable ongoing support for longstanding issues where the IDB has made a significant impact in Bolivia, such as employment, water and sanitation, energy, health, and transportation. Furthermore, they will facilitate technical and financial assistance in emerging priority areas for the country.

In addition to these priority pillars and activities, the strategy places a strong emphasis on cross-cutting themes including Gender and Diversity, Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability, and Institutional Capacity and the Rule of Law.

Country strategies remain valid for one year beyond the stated period, as they remain active throughout the preparation of the following strategy.
