Our Vision

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has identified four challenges that limit the technical and operational capacity of the State: inefficient bureaucracy, corruption, crime, and inadequate digital progress.

To support countries in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region in this undertaking, we provide project financing, technical assistance, and advice to governments to promote management models and structures in the following areas: transformation of public administration, data and digital government, citizen security and justice, and transparency and integrity.

Transformation of Public Administration

The IDB strengthens the management capacity of public administration to improve the lives of citizens and enhance their trust in the State.
