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.
The IDB Group's Strategy with Colombia 2019-2022 is structured in three strategic pillars:
(i) increase the productivity of the economy;
(ii) improve the effectiveness of public management;
(iii) promote social mobility and consolidate the middle class.
The strategy will support cross-cutting challenges related to immigration; gender, diversity and disability; climate change; digital economy; and economic integration.
