    IDB's growing focus on partnerships

    How has the Inter-American Development Bank expanded public and private partnerships to more than 200 in the past few years? Bernardo Guillamon, IDB’s manager of outreach and partnerships, explains in this video interview.

    By Rolf Rosenkranz // 21 August 2013

    When President Luis Alberto Moreno took control of the Inter-American Development Bank in 2008, he sought “huge change” in the way the IDB engages with partners in the private sector, academia and philanthropic community.

    Devex caught up with Bernardo Guillamon, manager of the Inter-American Development Bank’s office of outreach and partnerships, at the 2013 IDB annual gathering in Panama City, to hear about how his office works with institutions outside the IDB to enhance the bank’s impact and cost-effectiveness.

    In our video interview, Guillamon explained how his office has grown from working with less than 40 partners to now overseeing more than 200, half of them private companies and half governmental.
