The Country Office of Guatemala seeks to contribute to the strengthening of public institutions, the closing of social gaps in vulnerable groups, as well as the promotion of the private sector to achieve greater, more inclusive, and sustainable growth. This is done under a gender and diversity perspective, addressing climate change, and embracing digital transformation.
Overview
Guatemala, one of the founding countries of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), plays a key role in the institution's governance. As a shareholder country of the IDB, Guatemala appoints a Governor to represent its interests on the Board of Governors.
At the IDB headquarters in Washington, D.C., Guatemala is represented on the Board of Executive Directors. This seat, which Guatemala shares with El Salvador, Costa Rica, Belize, Honduras, and Nicaragua, is held by an Executive Director. The Executive Director is elected for a three-year term by the Governors of these six countries: Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Belize, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Guatemala’s Country Strategy 2024-2028 aims to generate greater development impact through more focused and larger-scale interventions, with the goal of improving the living conditions of vulnerable populations while strengthening Guatemala's position as the largest economy in the Central American region. This will be achieved through three strategic pillars:
- Basic services for vulnerable populations, contributing to reducing social gaps and improving service delivery.
- Private sector development, enhancing the business climate and strengthening entrepreneurial capacities, particularly for MSMEs.
- Climate action and food availability, by expanding climate financing and adopting adaptation and mitigation measures in the agricultural and forestry sectors.
