Country Office

The IDB in Bolivia has been a key development partner for more than six decades. The Country Strategy with Bolivia for the period 2022-2025 is a roadmap that will allow to continue supporting the country facing the challenges identified in the Economic and Social Development Plan 2021-2025. The Country Strategy identifies three priority pillars: Economic Reconstruction and Boosting Productivity, Productive Diversification, and Inclusive and Sustainable Social Development. These integral axes will allow to endure assisting issues of proven trajectory and impact of the IDB in Bolivia, such as employment, water and sanitation, energy, health, and transportation, among others, and to provide technical or financial support in emerging areas of priority for the country. Additionally, and as cross-cutting axes to all the priority pillars and activities of the Bank, a focus is paid on issues of Gender and Diversity, Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability, and Institutional Capacity and the Rule of Law.
