The Country Office of Colombia supports the policy areas that contribute to achieving the long-term vision of transforming Colombia into a high-income country with social mobility, aligned with the current National Development Plan (PND), which prioritizes institution-strengthening, inclusive economic growth based on higher productivity, and poverty reduction and social development.
Overview
Colombia is one of the founding member countries of the IDB. Like all the shareholders, Colombia appoints a Governor, who represents the country on the Board of Governors.
For day-to-day business at the Bank's Headquarters in Washington, D.C., Colombia is represented by a chair on the Board of Executive Directors. The chair, shared with Peru, is headed by an Executive Director, who is elected to a three-year term by the Governors of Colombia and Peru.
