On July 23, the World Bank and the Andean Development Corporation entered into a Collaboration Agreement for the creation of a Development Information Center (CIDES, after its initials in Spanish), which will be located at the CAF’s Information and Documentation Center. The agreement was signed by the CAF’s Executive President, Enrique García, and the World Bank’s representative in Venezuela, David Fernando Varela.

The objectives of the CIDES will be as follows:

  • To make available information produced by the CAF and the World Bank to the general public, students, researchers, leaders of society, officials of specialist agencies, professionals, government officials, and anyone interested in learning about issues relating to economic and social development in general and that of Venezuela in particular, in line with a policy of access. This information may be contained in printed documents, databases, electronic files, audiovisual media or other information support formats.

  • To carry out dissemination activities to inform the general public, and in particular civil society, students, researchers, communities and the local population, about of the CAF and the World Bank, the types of organization they are, their objectives, and the documents they produce.

  • Promote a culture of transparency by providing access to and disseminating public information, offering users an efficient, quality service.

  • The CIDES will make use of Global Jolis, a tool that contains the collection of the World Bank’s Library in Washington and those it has at its other Public Information Centers in other countries as well as the databases at the CAF’s Public Information and Documentation Centers.
