The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has been a driving force in the economic and social development of the Americas since the 1960s. In 2005, it published Macro Impact with Micro Money: 25 Years of Support to Microenterprise — a retrospective marking a quarter century of the Bank’s Small Projects Program in the region. The book had to celebrate that legacy for the donors, partner institutions, and IDB staff who built it, without turning into a dry institutional volume — anchoring the numbers in the on-the-ground stories of the microentrepreneurs, cooperatives, and networks the program supported. It was designed in parallel English and Spanish editions so the same story could reach every audience across the region and the Bank.
