IADB Supports Brazilian Project

Enrique Iglesias, President of the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), was in the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco on August 22, 2003, to sign a partnership agreement with the state government to raise literacy among children and adults.

Iglesias visited Campo da Sementeira, an example of a site where successful programs, such as Alliance with Adolescents, have been introduced. It is considered to be a model project by the state government, which intends to achieve the same success with the new project.
