The Country Strategy 2022-2026 will support Chile in building its productive capacities to address future situations, and in promoting the well-being of the population. To that end, the IDB Group will support the country in promoting innovation and productivity, and in building institutional capacities to meet the population’s needs, procuring sustainable, inclusive growth. This strategic approach will be based on two pillars:
(i) promoting social cohesion and inclusion; and
(ii) enabling the economy of the future. Both pillars will address the crosscutting themes of gender, diversity, inclusion, and equity; climate action and sustainability; institutional capacity and the rule of law; regional focus; and digitalization.
