The 26 Country Offices in the region are in charge of preparing the applications for each social project and their surveillance for the adequate use of the assigned resources.
Social
Projects
Created in 1995, there have been more than a hundred projects executed to support children, teenagers, and women living in poverty in Latin America and The Caribbean. These projects are funded through the earnings from the Holiday Bazaar, organized each year by the IDB Family Association in the headquarters of the Inter-American Development Bank, and through other activities that support the program.
