NEXUS

Do you want to publish an article in NEXUS?

The Bank is committed to promoting transparency, accountability, and openness in order to generate sustainable, open, and inclusive development. Therefore, CABEI recognizes that in order to achieve these commitments, the use of information and the knowledge it produces are tools that allow for more open societies to collaboratively find solutions for the common good.

CABEI believes that opening up knowledge broadens the understanding of different opinions, increases citizen participation and dialogue, stimulates innovation, accelerates learning based on the experiences of other actors and, consequently, reuses the knowledge of others for the creation of new knowledge.
