About
Built by people inside the system.
Practitioners with multiple years inside the UN system and with LAC-based development-finance actors.
CoopSignal is built by practitioners with multiple years working inside the UN system and with LAC-based development-finance actors. We’re keeping our identities private for now — the goal is the data, not the bylines.
We started CoopSignal because every serious proposal team in Latin America and the Caribbean runs into the same wall: the public-facing eligibility pages for IDB Invest, CAF, CABEI, BNDES, GCF, and national DFIs are shallow, outdated, or deliberately vague. The real shape of each mechanism — what the funder actually looks for, which terms are negotiable, what sinks proposals — lives with a small number of desk officers and consultants who’ve done the work dozens of times.
Our job is to structure that knowledge. Every mechanism page has the same 17 sections — 3 free, 14 behind Pro — so comparing funders takes minutes, not weeks. We update it weekly, from practitioner sources, not press releases.
Anchored in practice
Content is written and reviewed by people who have taken mechanisms from concept to disbursement, not by aggregators.
LAC-only, on purpose
Other databases go a mile wide. We go deep on the 26 LAC borrowing countries and the funders that matter for them.
Bilingual by default
Every Pro section ships in Spanish with terminology matching LAC development-finance conventions. No machine-translated slop.
