São Paulo – The Inter-American Development Bank (IBD) has opened institutions to finance projects aimed at finding solutions to problems between countries in the same region. The proposals should be presented by the public and private sector or civil society and should involve at least three countries.
The line makes available up to US$ 10 million to help finance the proposals selected. The money may be used, for example, in projects for the opening of markets, cross-border transmission of disease, financial crises and preservation of shared ecosystems.
The warning is published on site http://www.iadb.org/INT/BPR. The proposals should be sent to the IBD up to October 15, 2006.
