The Country Strategy 2022-2026 aims to bolster Chile's productive capacities to navigate future challenges and enhance the well-being of its population. The IDB Group will support Chile by fostering innovation, enhancing productivity, and strengthening institutional capabilities to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth.
This strategic approach is built upon two main pillars:
- Promoting social cohesion and inclusion.
- Facilitating the economy of the future.
Both pillars will address key crosscutting themes including gender, diversity, inclusion, and equity; climate action and sustainability; institutional capacity and the rule of law; regional priorities; and digitalization.
Country strategies remain valid for one year beyond the stated period, as they remain active throughout the preparation of the following strategy.
