Annual lending has increased dramatically to $10 billion in 1998. The Bank
lends among others, to the following sectors: Environment, water and
sanitation, agriculture, modernization of the state, energy, urban
development, transportation, education and health. Therefore, the Bank's
operations represent an excellent opportunity for companies to explore
business options in the Latin American and Caribbean markets.

construction contractors, independent consultants, and consultants from
think tanks, NGOs and other institutions and companies interested in

and consulting services; roles of IDB Country Offices and executing agencies

procurement; case studies (taking projects from early development through
the final execution while staying informed at every stage). The workshop
