About CDB

CDB intends to be the leading catalyst for development resources into the Region, working in an efficient, responsive and collaborative manner with our BMCs and other development partners, towards the systematic reduction of poverty in their countries through social and economic development.

Moving Forward

The Bank will continue to work towards being more responsive to its clients, improving efficiency and strengthening its institutional capacity. In this regard a Strategic Plan has been prepared, which outlines the proposed medium-term strategic framework and direction for the Bank for the period 2010-2014. The plan can be downloaded here.
