Country Strategy

Together, IDB staff and Colombia determine how Colombia's priorities coincide with the Bank’s development strategies for the region. The product of that process is the IDB country strategy with Colombia, containing the Bank’s expected program for Colombia for 2012-2014.

Country strategies include an overview of the country’s current economic situation. They draw on analytical work conducted by the Bank and other parties on a wide range of economic and social sectors, such as rural and urban development, health, education, government modernization, transportation, trade, and the environment, among others.
