At its Annual General Meeting, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) launched the "IDB Cuida" initiative for Latin America and the Caribbean. This initiative focuses on expanding care services and infrastructure to improve the lives of children, older adults, and people with disabilities, while creating jobs and accelerating economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean.

“BID Cuida” is based on three pillars:

1. Governance and financing: strengthening institutional frameworks for comprehensive care systems and policies.

2. Coverage and quality of services: increasing investment in quality care services.

3. Shared responsibility for care: promoting a more balanced distribution of care responsibilities within society and households
