Progress is reviewed internally every six months. Examples of success to date include:
an International Centre against HIV/AIDS in Brazil has been established, providing technical support to countries in the region.
the Inter-American Development Bank has changed its loans to be more accessible to small enterprises, including cooperatives;
the World Bank has engaged with a much wider group of actors in preparing and distributing its analyses of development potential in Peru and Bolivia.
In addition, DFID has commissioned from the Overseas Development Institute an independent evaluation of the performance of the regional assistance plan, and its recommendations are expected in January.
