 Review of Cost-Sharing Limits for Projects Financing as an Element of ADB's 1998 Graduation Policy - ADB.org
IADB’s cost-sharing is the ratio of loan to total project cost inclusive of taxes and duties.
The IADB’s cost-sharing limits are higher than those of the World Bank in IADB’s Group B, Group C, and Group D categories, except four countries in the IADB’s Group D category where there is basically no difference in cost-sharing limits between the IADB and the World Bank.
However, the cost-sharing limits of IADB and the World Bank are still quite substantial in these countries with relatively high per capita GNPs and are higher than the cost-sharing limit of borrowers in ADB’s group C category.

 UNI : UNI's letter to the IADB on the closure of Telecom Colombia
It is our understanding that the IADB has taken on the task of "vertical reforms" in specific agencies of the Colombian government in support of a World Bank-funded project of "fiscal institutional structural adjustment" (as described in the Bank's program document for the $300 million loan).
We note further that the IADB has two projects in the pipeline – the "Infrastructure Privatization and Concessions II" project and the "Public Service Renewal Program" – that appear related to the larger World Bank project.
We also encourage you to work with the World Bank and the IMF to ensure that public sector reforms comply with internationally accepted labor standards and that the workers of TELECOM are treated fairly as Colombia struggles to achieve peace and development.

 Cooperation: Partners Across the Pacific - ADB Review - ADB.org
IADB, the oldest and largest regional multilateral development institution, was established in 1959 to help accelerate economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean.
During these sessions, IADB and ADB counterparts highlighted their different experiences with common development issues, such as the use of social funds to cope with the social dimensions of financial crises.
Under the Partnership Agreement, ADB and IADB agree to collaborate in areas of direct relevance to the priorities and strategies of both institutions, including technical support for projects and information exchange on crosscutting issues, poverty reduction, and good governance, regional and subregional development, transpacific business cooperation, and development promotion tools.

 Colombian diplomat Moreno wins IADB presidency - Boston.com - Latin America/Caribbean - News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
While the detailed vote count was not released, a source present at the meeting said Moreno won the support of a majority of Central American and Caribbean countries, helping him to a quick victory and avoiding a drawn-out battle like that seen at the Organization of American States this spring.
To win the post a candidate needed votes from at least 15 of the IADB's 28 member countries in the Americas as well as a sizable majority of the bank's shareholders -- the largest being the United States, with 30 percent.
The IADB, established in 1959, is one of the largest providers of development assistance to Latin America and the Caribbean.
