Description of Pictures: The Inter-American Development Bank, the primary source of development financing for Latin America and the Caribbean, invites you to experience its new Visitors Center.
Through interactives and data-driven storytelling, learn about diverse projects in 26 countries – each one designed to improve lives.

Current exhibit:
Is life getting better for the people of Latin America and the Caribbean?
Come hear the stories of men and women whose experiences shed light on this complex question – in areas ranging from security and social services to scientific innovation and sanitation.
Test your assumptions about the region’s progress, explore six decades of projects that have helped improve lives and tell us what you think we should prioritize in the future.

7. IDBVC_191125_070.JPG: "You are absolutely right. We are the Bank of the bathrooms. We are the Bank of clean water. We are the Bank that will protect the newborn babies of Latin America. And we will be the Bank of economic integration." -- Filipe Herrera to Che Guevara, August 1961
8. IDBVC_191125_080.JPG: In 1961, the IDB sent a delegation to Punta del Este, Uruguay, for the launch of the Alliance for Progress, a signature initiative of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Ernesto "Che" Guevara was there as head of the Cuban delegation, even though the country was barred from participating in this initiative because it was not a member of the Bank. During the proceedings, Guevara took the floor and delivered an angry speech in which he dismissed the IDB as "the Bank of the bathrooms." The reference was to the Bank's first loan, which was for water and sewer works in Arequipa, Peru. When Guevara finished, Felipe Herrera, the IDB's first president, asked for the floor and addressed Guevara directly. According to people who were there that day, Herrera said: "You are absolutely right. We are the Bank of the bathrooms. We are the Bank of clean water. We are the Bank that will protect the newborn babies of Latin America. And we will be the Bank of economic integration."
9. IDBVC_191125_086.JPG: "You are the bank of the latrines." -- Che Guevara
10. IDBVC_191125_089.JPG: "Yes, we are." -- Felipe Herrera
