"Contributing to the pioneering IDEAS energy innovation contest constitutes an excellent opportunity for the Multilateral Investment Fund to share our deep experience in private sector development by designing, financing, and executing innovative models that benefit entrepreneurs, MSMEs, and low-income households in the region," said Michael Hofmann, IDEAS coordinator at the MIF. All sponsors noticed that the quality of applications this year were very high. Many innovative proposals could not be supported due to budgetary limitations. HL/ HaitiLibre
