DEVELOPMENT MARKETPLACE 2001 (*)

Established by the World Bank, Development Marketplace (DM) an internet
site to create a place of ideas, talent and resources that address
development challenges. Every year DM is open for proposals to develop
innovative approaches addressing a range of issues in poverty. The 2001

The 2001 winners will be chosen by an international jury from 205
finalists and award seed money to implement those projects. The event will
take place in January 2002 in Washington DC (the event postponed from Autumn
2001 due to 11 September events.)

Registration for the DM is now open to the public. Admission to the event
