| Panibagong Paraan (New Ways) is the Philippine Version of the Global Development Marketplace sponsored by the World Bank. Like the Global Development Marketplace, Country Development Marketplaces search for innovative ideas to address development challenges. The Philippine version is held every two years. |
Panibagong Paraan 2006, with the theme, "Development with Equity," features two competitions: One is the Project Grant Competition, under which winning proponents are awarded up to PhP 1 million to implement their projects within a one-year period.
The other competition is on “Expression of Ideas”. This competition is on ideas for the promotion of "Development with Equity" that will not entail project implementation by the proponent—e.g., the idea could be for a policy that can be adopted by government or other sectors. |
