Announcement of Equator Prize Finalists at Equator Initiative Board Dinner

On March 14, 2007 partners and friends of the Equator Initiative gathered at German house for a special evening hosted by the UN German Mission, BMZ and UNDP. The reasons to celebrate were threefold: The 25 Equator Prize finalists were announced (Click here to read about the finalists), and the Equator Initiative partnered with TribalLink to present to the Kalinga Mission, a 2004 Equator Prize Winner from the Philippines, a US$20,000 contribution to their newly established Indigenous Women's MicroFinance  program.  Along with invited guests learning about this year's prize finalists, and what previous winners have been working on, the event culminated with the launching of the new GTZ/UNDP MDG Poster Book (Click here for more information) and associated software tool for communities to produce their own MDG poster. To cap off an already lovely night, everyone was invited to take home coffee from the Equator Prize 2002 winner Café la Selva.
