Civil Society Consultative Groups (IDB)
Following their civil engagement strategy, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) created the IDB - Civil Society Consultative Groups, a platform for dialogue and collaboration between the IDB and the local groups of the civil society of 26 of the Latin American and Caribbean countries. The organizations selected for this initiative respond to the pillars of the development strategy for each country. The Civil Society Consultative Groups have regular meetings, both national and international, to deliberate on specific ongoing projects comprised in the Country Strategy. By 2020, there are 17 organizations in Peru?s IDB Civil Society Consultative Groups, ranging from human rights and gender issues groups to urban development and environment protection.
