The IDB Group is a community of diverse, versatile, and passionate people who come together on a journey to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our people find purpose and do what they love in an inclusive, collaborative, agile, and rewarding environment.

The IDB Group is looking for an active graduate student to be hired as an intern under the Consultant modality.

The 2027 Winter Internship Program is a competitive paid opportunity, based in Headquarters, for university students from member countries to learn about development work and corporate management of the Bank, and to acquire work experience at the professional level through on-the-job learning.

The Institutional Capacity of the State Division (ICS) is seeking a graduate intern to support its Transparency and Integrity thematic area in developing an innovative, web-based analytical tool for Latin America and the Caribbean. The assignment will contribute to the Bank's efforts to strengthen evidence-based policy dialogue and operational engagement on transparency, integrity, financial integrity, and state effectiveness.

Building off the team's existing diagnostic tools, the intern will develop a working proof of concept for an interactive regional dashboard that brings together internationally recognized indicators and secondary evidence on countries' transparency and integrity systems. The tool will organize information across three analytical dimensions: enabling conditions, institutional capacity, and risk management. It will allow users to explore country profiles, compare selected countries and indicators, examine trends, and access the underlying sources and methodological information.

The dashboard will also support the production of Country Integrity Snapshots, concise analytical briefs that synthesize the available evidence into accessible country-level profiles. The assignment will draw on the team's existing analytical work, remain distinct from a full diagnostic assessment.

The internship offers an opportunity to combine applied data science, interactive visualization, and institutional analysis in a practical development context. The successful candidate will work with Bank specialists to translate an existing analytical concept into a functional prototype that can demonstrate the value of integrated country evidence and provide a foundation for potential future development.

• Compile, validate, and structure the agreed international indicators and secondary evidence for selected countries, including source metadata, definitions, and methodological limitations.
• Develop a working web dashboard proof of concept that enables interactive exploration of country profiles, selected indicators, trends, and cross-country comparisons.
• Integrate source documentation and develop functionality to generate or export standardized Country Integrity Snapshots from the underlying data.
• Prepare concise, evidence-based interpretations of country patterns and demonstrate how the tool can support regional analysis, policy dialogue, and further country-level assessment.
• Deliver the functional prototype, supporting data and code, technical documentation, and a final demonstration with recommendations for potential future development.
