Allies of Colombia

In a global context of economic volatility, geopolitical uncertainty and trade tensions, it is essential that Colombia has strategic allies to overcome the historical gaps that have overshadowed the dreams of the most vulnerable populations, from those living in rural areas with the highest poverty rates, to ethnic communities, women, children and informal workers.

CAF, closer to Colombia

Colombia is one of the countries with the greatest historical weight in the institution, and we want to boost this position even further in the future. To achieve this, we have prepared a new strategy to support the country, aligned with the National Development Plan (NDP) 2022-2026 "Colombia, World Power of Life" and based on rural development, a commitment to equity, sustainable productive transformation and institutional modernization, all with equity, gender, diversity, inclusion and climate action as cross-cutting themes.
