Caribbean countries are being urged to participate in a project by the Washington-based Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), that would finance projects and research studies to improve financial and private sector development policies in the region.
The IDB said that the deadline for receiving proposals for the initiative being undertaken in collaboration with the Spanish General Trust Fund is May 15.
The IDB said that proposals should be for activities that fund specific interventions aimed at improving financial risk management in the agricultural sector in order to reduce price volatility and improve productive capacities and fiscal stability.
The IDB said that research grants of 20,000 Euros would go towards diagnostics, impact evaluations, comparative or case studies, and other applied research leading to policy recommendations.
