For Latin American and Caribbean countries working to reduce poverty and inequality, we help improve health and education, and advance infrastructure. With a history dating back to 1959, we are a leading source of development financing for the region. 

We don’t just lend though. We provide cutting-edge research, policy advice to inform decisions, and technical assistance to improve planning and implementation. 

How we see results on the ground…

Whether from our headquarters in Washington, D.C. from one of our 28 country offices, you can be a key connection to the people and countries we impact.
Our country offices play an essential role in identifying and preparing new projects, as well as executing and evaluating ongoing initiatives.  Our professionals in the countries facilitate close cooperation with partners and help drive impact first-hand.

As the region’s development challenges evolve, we require a greater variety of abilities to help us succeed in our mission.

We seek public and private sector professionals with diverse backgrounds in numerous areas, including Energy, Transport, Water and Sanitation, Environment, Rural Development and Disaster Risk , Education, Social Protection and Health, Science and Technology, Institutional Capacity, Financial Markets, Economic Research, and more.

Whether you’re directly involved with a project in a development operations role, or provide key specialized support in legal, finance, HR, procurement, or IT… your work will have a lasting impact.
