The LAC Digital Development Unit delivers on the World Bank’s core mandate: to provide financing, knowledge, and development support that help countries advance their digital transformation.
The unit manages a robust portfolio of lending and non-lending operations across the region.
Lending operations provide financing for large-scale investments—including digital infrastructure, government digital services, and digital skills—while non-lending operations deliver advisory services, technical assistance, policy analysis, and capacity building.
Together, these efforts help countries lay the groundwork for impactful investments, respond to national priorities, and maximize development outcomes.
How We Work
The LAC Digital Development Unit’s work is organized around six interconnected business lines that form the foundations of digital transformation:
- Digital data infrastructure
- Digital government
- Digital connectivity
- Digital safeguards
- ICT industry and digital jobs
- Green digital
These business lines are strengthened through close collaboration with other World Bank Global Departments, as well as with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), ensuring a comprehensive World Bank Group approach to digital development in the region.
