Jamaica

The IDB works with our Jamaican partners to strengthen the island's economy and its social services.  The Bank's new country strategy supports the government’s objectives of faster inclusive growth and durable debt reduction, and it encourages collaboration with the private and public sectors to support private sector-led post-pandemic recovery.

The new IDB Group Country Strategy (CS) 2022–2026 with Jamaica supports the Government’s development objectives of faster inclusive growth and durable debt reduction. The CS supports postpandemic recovery that is socially inclusive, sustainable, and driven by the private sector under two strategic areas:

(i) reactivating the productive sector for sustainable growth and

(ii) addressing social gaps. In addition, the cross-cutting themes of gender and diversity, climate change and environmental sustainability and institutional capacity and rule of law are streamlined into each strategic area.
