Inter-American Development Bank

Mission & Goals

Since our creation in 1959, we have been dedicated to improving the quality of life for millions of people in our 26 borrowing member countries across Latin America and the Caribbean. We provide financial and technical support to national and sub-national governments and other entities in our region. We conduct cutting-edge research and develop innovative solutions to address development challenges both locally and globally. We work with our non-borrowing member countries and development organizations to channel resources and expertise to Latin America and the Caribbean, promoting development and maximizing the impact of key initiatives.
