Development Marketplace is a competitive grant program of the World Bank that funds creative, small-scale development projects that deliver results and have the potential to be expanded or replicated. 

One hundred and four project teams from around the world will display their projects and vie for grant funding in the final round of the 2007 Global Development Marketplace competition, May 22-23. The event is open to the public; free registration is open through May 15th.

If you are in Washington DC, it is worth having a look. Each year there are a number of inspiring projects among the finalists.
