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.

Like all the shareholders, Jamaica appoints a Governor, who represents the country on the Board of Governors.
For day-to-day business at the Bank's Headquarters in Washington, D.C., Jamaica is represented by a chair on the Board of Executive Directors. The chair, shared with Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago, is headed by an Executive Director, who is elected to a three-year term by the Governors of Jamaica, Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago.
