The Development Marketplace is a competitive grant program administered by the World Bank.
This year's theme is about: Sustainable Agriculture for Development.
Applications are accepted through March 21, 2008. About 100 finalists will be announced in June and will be invited to World Bank headquarters in Washington, DC in late September to vie for grants in person at the DM2008 Marketplace event. If selected, your idea could receive up to US$200,000 in grant funding for implementation over two years.
Proposals for innovative ideas or early-stage projects with high potential for development impact, are welcome from all development innovators—civil society groups, social entrepreneurs, private foundations, government agencies, academia and the private sector.
Proposals must address one of the following three sub-themes:
1. Linking Small-Scale Farmers to Input-Output Markets
