The objective of the Bank’s country strategy with the Dominican Republic for the 2021-2024 period is to assist the country in recovering a robust pace of economic growth consistent with inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development. To that end, the IDB Group will focus its actions on three areas:

(i) improvement of public management and fiscal institutional structure;

(ii) sustainable and inclusive productive reactivation; and

(iii) strengthening of human capital. During implementation issues of gender and diversity, climate change adaptation, digitalization, institutional capacity, and rule of law with an emphasis on transparency will be addressed in crosscutting fashion. These areas provide continuity with respect to the IDB Group’s work in the previous strategy period, albeit with a greater emphasis on considerations of productivity gains, inclusiveness, and institutional strengthening.
