Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) country representative Moises Pineda, quoted in Hoy, has voiced his concerns about the country's lackluster performance in the area of human development. Pineda said that the IDB has backed Dominican government efforts to improve health and education for the last 40 years but feels that the government needs to strengthen its programs. Pineda, who is at the end of his term, says that this year the IDB will begin dialogue with Dominican officials to revise its development cooperation strategy, seeking to increase coverage in the three important pillars of governance, competitiveness and human development. Pineda said that the IDB is looking for ways to help the new institutions that have been created with the implementation of the government's National Competitiveness Council. With regards to governance, Pineda says that the IDB is asking the government to spend public funds more efficiently.
