In brief: Argentina

* The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has announced that it will be funding a project to increase youth employment and reduce the gender gap through sports in Argentina, in association with the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The IDB’s Multilateral Investment Fund and the IOC have committed to a total of US$1.5m in funding for the project, which will use sport to help young people be better prepared for entering the workforce, with a special focus on empowering women and girls. It is hoped that the initiative will benefit over 4,000 young people, and that it will in the future be replicated in Colombia and Ecuador.
