Latin America and the Caribbean (LCR) Region
The WBG serves 30 client countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LCR).

Clients range from large rapidly growing sophisticated middle-income clients to IDA countries to small Caribbean states to one fragile state.

Despite immense resources, dynamic societies, and an average annual per capita income of about $4,000, deep inequalities persist in most LCR countries, with nearly a quarter of the Region's people living in poverty.

The last Bank's strategy for LCR focused on three pillars:
(a) supporting the foundations for inclusive growth; (b) investing in human capital and protecting the poor; and (c) building resilience. In the aftermath of the COVID19 pandemic, this strategy will need to be adjusted to better support the countries deal with a health crisis without precedents and an economic crisis not seen since modern statistical records started in 1900.

Yet, the basic elements of the strategy:

accelerating growth (following a projected GDP contraction in 2020 of 7.2%), investing in human capital, including in health (in the most affected region by COVID19), and building resilience appear fully relevant.

The Role of the Equitable Growth, Finance, And Institutions (EFI) Practice Group:
The Equitable Growth, Finance, and Institutions Vice Presidency (EFI) is one of the World Bank Group's four Practice Groups.

EFI's mandate is "Growth, Finance, and Institutions for all." EFI combines expertise in finance and private sector development, macroeconomics, fiscal policy, taxation, governance, anticorruption, procurement and poverty among other areas.

We foster private sector led growth in client countries, help create markets and jobs, improve resilience, strengthen institutions, promote equal opportunities and inclusion for all.

EFI is composed of 4 Global Practices (GPs):

Finance, Competitiveness and Innovation (FCI) consists of financial and private sector development specialists to foster a private sector led growth agenda.

Macroeconomics, Trade and Investment (MTI) consists of country economists and houses expertise in macro-modeling, debt and fiscal policy.

Governance GP consists of public sector, financial management and procurement specialists to support institutional and governance reforms and provide fiduciary support to all Bank operations.

Poverty and Equity GP consists of micro, labor and development economists to build the evidence base and provide advice and operational support to ensure country policies and WBG interventions are inclusive.

EFI supports clients in advancing evidence-based structural reforms to build the foundations for inclusive and sustainable growth.

Country Management Unit Context
The World Bank Group serves 30 client countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LCR). The Bank's strategy in LCR is structured around two pillars and four global themes.

The first pillar aims at supporting the foundations for inclusive growth, and the second at investing in human capital and protecting the poor.

The global themes focus on strengthening institutions and governance, promoting economic integration, ensuring social and environmental sustainability, and introducing appropriate risk management considerations in the design and implementation of development strategies.
