NOTICE BOARD CONGRATULATIONS It is excellent that two organisations concerned with bees and beekeepers made it through to join 10 other finalists in the BBC Newsweek 2008 World Challenge. This widely publicised competition brought much attention to the value of apiculture: great congratulations to Keystone Foundation {ndia, and Hashoo Foundation Pakistan.
PROJECT FUNDING FAO, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, supports beekeeping projects in developing countries. Beekeepers’ groups and associations may apply for small project funding of up to US$10,000 from the TeleFood Special Fund. Request documents should include a brief description of the project's objectives, the proposed food production or income-generating activities, the work plan, the number of participants, a detailed list of inputs with cost estimates and the reporting arrangements. Submit your request to the office of FAO or UNDP in your country. See www.fao.org and inform BfD of the outcome of your application.
YOUTH FUND An innovative partnership between the Inter-American Development Bank and Microsoft's Unlimited Potential Community Technology Skills, the Youth Fund was established to respond to the needs of young people in the Latin American and Caribbean region and to promote their participation in the development process.
