 | | IADB, the oldest and largest regional multilateral development institution, was established in 1959 to help accelerate economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean. |
 | | During these sessions, IADB and ADB counterparts highlighted their different experiences with common development issues, such as the use of social funds to cope with the social dimensions of financial crises. |
 | | Under the Partnership Agreement, ADB and IADB agree to collaborate in areas of direct relevance to the priorities and strategies of both institutions, including technical support for projects and information exchange on crosscutting issues, poverty reduction, and good governance, regional and subregional development, transpacific business cooperation, and development promotion tools. |
