The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has selected 28 partner institutions to finance and provide technical assistance to small-scale cultural development projects in 21 countries.
One such project will be conducted in Region two, where the Mainstay Village Council is set to benefit from the small-scale cultural development project, which will entail the promotion of Sustainable Development of Arawak Culture in Mainstay/ Whyaka, in the Essequibo region.
According to the IDB, under the Bank’s Cultural Development Programme, these projects will receive grants of US$3,000 and US$7,000.
The Cultural Development Programme, managed by the IDB Cultural Center, aims to promote cultural development in Latin America and the Caribbean by financing projects and working hand-in-hand as project partner.
The IDB stated that this year’s grants were awarded to innovative micro-projects for technical training, art, music, and theater instruction for educators, artists and musicians. Taking into consideration the diversity of these cultural disciplines, the projects were evaluated for their viability, educational scope, effective use of resources, ability to mobilise additional sources of financing, and long-term impact on the community.
This year, the IDB Cultural Center received 634 project applications, from which 191 were pre selected with help from the IDB Country Offices. Then, a Selection Committee awarded grants to 28 project proposals from 21 countries.
