The Bank’s Country Strategy 2025–2028 aims to maximize the impact of the IDB Group in the Dominican Republic through a selective approach to its interventions. This document is intended to guide the Bank’s actions to contribute to the country’s development by strategically leveraging the resources, experience, synergies, and strategic partnerships of the three windows to address the country’s challenges more effectively.
This strategy is structured around three key pillars:
- Strengthen human capital and social conditions: to improve living conditions through increased access to safe water and sanitation, strengthen health and social protection systems and promote skills development.
- Advance growth led by the private sector: to expand and upgrade transportation infrastructure, enhancing electricity market efficiency, promoting sustainable mining development, building technical capacity for the agriculture sector, and facilitating greater access to finance and value-chain integration for the business sector.
- Increase public sector efficiency and resilience: The purpose of this pillar is to strengthen the sustainability of public finances, improve the quality of public expenditure within a framework of transparency and accountability, and promote planning and regulatory improvements to enhance public management effectiveness.
The IDB Group is prepared to continue being a key strategic partner for the country by increasing support in key sectors, empowering the private sector, and mobilizing its experience and technical capacity.
