The IDB Group’s Country Strategy for the Dominican Republic (2021-2024) aims to support the country in achieving robust and sustainable economic growth. This strategy focuses on fostering inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development through three key areas:
- Enhancement of Public Management and Fiscal Institutional Structure: Improving public sector efficiency and strengthening fiscal institutions to support economic stability.
- Sustainable and Inclusive Productive Reactivation: Promoting sustainable economic activities that boost productivity and inclusivity across various sectors.
- Strengthening Human Capital: Investing in human resources to enhance skills, opportunities, and overall workforce capacity.
The strategy will also address crosscutting issues such as gender equality, diversity, climate change adaptation, digitalization, institutional capacity, and rule of law, with a strong focus on transparency. These areas build on the IDB Group’s previous strategic period, with an increased emphasis on productivity, inclusivity, and institutional strengthening.
