Melanie Sison, National Social Marketing Officer of the project, said that the Development Impact Awards “recognizes the different projects supported by multilateral development banks all over the world.”
Sision said the entries from the different countries all over the world were based on criteria such as the quality of the results, focus on the primary sectors, innovations used, and risk mitigation strategies utilized.
