Annual Calls
The IDB reviews and selects proposals presented to annual CFPS by means of a four-stage process:
Verification of the regional and public dimension of the proposal as well as analysis of the quality of proposals.
Evaluation of the technical sound and classification of the proposals based on three criteria: (i) strategic relevance, (ii) regional added value and (iii) sustainability.
Priorization of proposals as high, medium or low priority according to their alignment with priorities in participating countries.
Approval of the list of proposals recommended for financing based on the inputs received during stages 1 to 3.
Each year, through a public Call for Proposals (CFP) the IDB solicits proposals from the region to finance projects that promote RPGs by means of collective action. Proposals must be presented in accordance with the Terms and Conditions applicable to all CFPs and be submitted online before the date and time indicated in the CFP (US Eastern Standard Time).
Before submitting a proposal to the RPG Initiative, please review the following documents carefully to ensure that your proposal is eligible and that you have all the documents required for submission.

Results of the 2024 Call for Proposals
Under the 2024 Call for Proposals, 87 proposals for a total of US$44 million in requested financing were received. The RPG Initiative had resources in the amount of US$8 million to support groups of countries from Latin America and the Caribbean that decided to tackle development challenges or seize development opportunities collectively.
If your proposal is included in the list below, an IDB representative will contact you to the email listed in the proposal shortly to begin the approval process for the project.
Please note that, due to budgetary restrictions, the final amount assigned to finance your proposal may differ from the amount originally requested and that during the process of approval of the project, the IDB may make recommendations to adjust activities and expenses of the proposal presented, to ensure compliance with the internal policies for eligible expenses. Likewise, we remind you that the final approval of the project's Technical Cooperation document by the IDB is conditional on obtaining, through the corresponding IDB country offices, the letters of no objection from the official IDB liaison entities in each participating country.
