Strengthening Strategic Capacities for Water Security in Prioritized Watersheds of the SICA Region
The project aims to contribute to water security in prioritized watershed territories of the SICA region by producing technical diagnostic studies, cost-of-inaction/benefit-of-action analyses (BACI), and strategic water investment plans with bankable project profiles per watershed. It operates in 8 watersheds across 8 countries —Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and the Dominican Republic— incorporating gender, intercultural, and climate risk perspectives
Design of the Resilient Development Project for the Yuna River Basin
A non-reimbursable IDB technical cooperation supporting the Dominican Republic's National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INDRHI) to design a program for irrigation improvement and climate change adaptation in the Yuna River Basin. It comprises pre-feasibility studies for irrigation infrastructure, ex-ante economic analysis, environmental and social assessment, gender gap analysis, and specialized engineering technical assistance.
Strategy for Technological Innovation to Improve the Productivity and Competitiveness of Supply Chains in Central America and the Dominican Republic
PRESICA developed a regional agricultural innovation model based on Local Innovation Consortia, which bring together producers, research institutes, universities, NGOs, and the private sector around value chains for corn, beans, cassava, and sweet peppers. The strategy was grounded in producers’ technological needs to drive research, technology validation, technology transfer, and extension services with a territorial focus. The project operated in eight Central American countries and the Dominican Republic, forming 22 local consortia. It contributed to strengthening national and regional agricultural innovation systems as a public good.

Extension of the temporary fertilizer subsidy in the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Government extended the fertilizer subsidy program through an additional investment of more than RD$1,090 million, bringing total resources allocated to this initiative to RD$2,151 million. The new allocation will remain in force until August 31, 2026 and aims to ensure the availability of fertilizers at affordable prices, stabilize agricultural production costs, avoid pressure on food prices and protect food security. The measure was formalized through agreements between the Ministry of Agriculture and companies that import raw materials for fertilizers and soil amendments, both large and small, in order to strengthen the supply and distribution of these inputs across the national territory.
Temporary subsidy for the increase in fertilizer prices in the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Government will absorb the increase in fertilizer prices caused by the international context, with the objective of preventing increases in agricultural production costs and food prices. According to the source, the president ordered a subsidy for the increase until May 31, in order to keep fertilizer prices unchanged and provide stability to the agricultural sector while the international situation evolves.
