The Country Office of Mexico works on initiatives for inclusive and sustainable development, aiming to generate a positive impact on health, the economy, climate action, productive infrastructure, and social conditions, among other areas, to improve the lives of Mexican citizens.
Overview
Mexico, as one of the founding member countries of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), plays a pivotal role in its governance. Like all IDB shareholders, Mexico appoints a Governor to represent the country on the IDB Board of Governors.
At the IDB Headquarters in Washington, D.C., Mexico is represented on the Board of Executive Directors. This position is shared with the Dominican Republic. The chair is occupied by an Executive Director, who is elected for a three-year term by the Governors of both Mexico and the Dominican Republic. This representation ensures that Mexico has a key voice in the IDB’s daily operations and decision-making processes.
