Inter-American Development Bank
Solution: Design/Identity, Custom Programming, Interactive, Presentation, Promotional
Vertical: Corporate, Government, Non-Profit

Founded in 1959, the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) is the oldest and largest regional development institution in the world. The IADB is owned by 47 member countries with 26 borrowing members in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 21 lending countries in North America, Asia and Europe. Since its inception, the IADB has helped to make a difference in literacy, nutrition and life expectancy in Latin America and the Caribbean.

To capture its history and to provide a resource guide to its vast repository of publications, the IADB commissioned Fig Leaf Software to produce a Spanish and English-language version CD-ROM of the “The First Ten Years.”


Fig Leaf Software applied the combined expert skills in Flash MX, ActionScript, XML and custom programming to create an easy-to-navigate, interactive CD-ROM. Fig Leaf designed and developed a comprehensive navigation with links to each publication and program with indices by author, title, and type in both English and Spanish languages. Fig Leaf provided the full source code for the .FLA, .AS, XML files upon project completion.

Fig Leaf developed an interactive CD-ROM that can be used as a stand-alone communication for information dissemination or as an accompaniment to the IADB’s printed booklet. The CD-ROM is the annotated bibliography of all ten years of publications, in English and Spanish. The look and feel of the content on the CD-ROM was colorful and user-friendly. The design of the electronic booklet was consistent with the IADB’s branding and selected color scheme. The Inter-American Development Bank now has a source of history and publication information that can be easily reproduced and distributed worldwide. As a result of the project, Fig Leaf Software has enabled the Inter-American Development Bank to more effectively communicate with its stakeholders and further its charter of fostering social and economic development.
