In the framework of a meeting promoted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), held in Washington DC, on January 24th, 1968, representatives of 36 development entities from 16 countries of the region signed the articles of incorporation and bylaws of ALIDE.<\/p>\n

The founding entities agreed that the association would have its headquarters and legal domicile in the city of Lima, Peru, and appointed the Banco Industrial del Peru (BIP) as the provisional entity for performing the functions of the Secretariat. Eleven years later, in 1979, the institutional headquarters of ALIDE was built, with the contributions from the member entities.<\/p>\n

ALIDE has oriented its work according to the changing circumstances of the environment in which the Development Banking operates. In 1983, a study was carried out to evaluate the activities and services performed by the Association in the first 15 years. In 1988, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary, a second study was carried out which focused on the analysis of the future of Development Banking and the perspectives of ALIDE. In the late 1990s, a set of tasks was assumed to modernize and adjust the structure and services of the General Secretariat to the changes occurred in development financing institutions and a business model based on strategic planning was adopted.<\/p>\n
