The Country Office of Bahamas aims to address key challenges like gender equality, data management, and climate change, enhance resilience and disaster risk management, and support sustainable economic growth.
The new IDB Group’s Country Strategy (CS) 2024–2028 aims to further build resiliency and to fully support the government’s Blueprint for Change and National Development Plan to achieve inclusive and sustainable development. The new CS will support four strategic areas of engagement: (i) disaster risk management, (ii) strengthen public sector governance; (iii) boost private sector competitiveness; and (iv) human development and citizen security. These areas will be addressed taking into consideration the cross-cutting areas of gender and diversity, climate change and environmental sustainability, and institutional capacity and the rule of law.
