Overview

 

Venezuela, as a founding member country of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), plays a significant role in the organization. Like all IDB shareholders, Venezuela appoints a Governor who represents the country on the Board of Governors.

For daily operations at the IDB’s Headquarters in Washington, D.C., Venezuela is represented on the Board of Executive Directors. This position is shared with Panama and is led by an Executive Director. The Executive Director is elected to a three-year term by the Governors of both Venezuela and Panama.

Strategy and Projects

The IDB Group is actively addressing the socio-economic crisis impacting the nation through targeted actions for the 2021-2023 period. Our approach focuses on two main strategic areas:

(i) Humanitarian Crisis Response: We are implementing measures to tackle immediate humanitarian needs.
(ii) Recovery Preparation: We are preparing interventions to support the country's recovery once the current political and financial challenges are resolved.

These strategic areas are supported by two essential cross-cutting themes:

(i) Knowledge Generation and Dissemination: Enhancing data and information to guide decision-making and policy development.
(ii) Migration Crisis Management: Addressing the challenges and impacts of migration.

Our goal is to lead a well-informed dialogue and execute actions aimed at the nation's social and economic recovery. This includes:

  1. Strengthening Public Finances: Ensuring fiscal stability and effective resource management
  2. Enhancing the Social Safety Net: Improving support systems for vulnerable populations
  3. Upgrading Public Services: Enhancing the quality and accessibility of essential services
  4. Developing Human Capital: Investing in education and workforce development

Additionally, we aim to promote private investment, bolster institutional capacity, and uphold the rule of law. Our actions also integrate key considerations such as:

(i) Climate Change and Sustainability: Ensuring that our interventions contribute to environmental sustainability.
(ii) Social and Economic Integration: Fostering inclusive growth and integration across different sectors of society.

By focusing on these priorities, the IDB Group is committed to supporting the nation's recovery and long-term development.
