The IDB Country Office of Guyana is focused on supporting institutional development through a strengthened national strategy and planning framework while also partnering on development of the country’s infrastructure and the private sector.
The 2023-2026 Country Strategy aims to support the country’s goal of sustainable and equitable growth. The Country Strategy aims to continue supporting economic diversification of the non-oil economy in line with the country's Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and in a manner consistent with the Paris Agreement, focusing on the strategic areas of (i) resilient infrastructure development, (ii) human capital development, specifically improving health and educational outcomes, and (iii) strengthening institutional capacity. Cross-cutting themes such as gender and diversity, climate change and biodiversity/natural capital, and digitalization will be streamlined into project design.
