In 2015, the CDB approved loans and grants amounting to US$294 million. Developments in the water, energy, and transportation sectors dominated the portfolio, followed by substantial support to the education sector. The emphasis on infrastructure improvement was consistent with the role which this sector plays in reducing poverty, by facilitating economic growth and employment opportunities. The CDB Strategic Framework for the period 2015 to 2019 comprises two distinct but complementary development objectives: supporting inclusive and sustainable growth and development, and promoting good governance. These two objectives will be supported by the mainstreaming of three cross-cutting areas, i.e., gender equality, regional cooperation and integration, and energy security.
