IOB Evaluations IOB Evaluation | no. 324 IOB Evaluation | no. The economic and social infrastructure of many least developed countries is severely inadequate or even non-existent. One reason for this is the difficulty in obtaining long-term capital for IOB Evaluation investment in infrastructure. That is why the Dutch Minister for Development Cooperation established the Least Developed Countries (LDC) Infrastructure Fund in 2002. The Fund, which is managed by the Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO), aims to stimulate private investment in infrastructure in LDCs. This report presents the results of an evaluation of the Fund’s first five years.

  • Military History of the Van Schaick Mansion
    Military History of the Van Schaick Mansion The Van Schaick Mansion was built in 1735 by Goosen Geritge Van Schaick. Its island location and geographic position along the Hudson River between New York City and Canada made it an ideal military stronghold, so the house was used as a military headquarters in the French and Indian wars of 1735 and again in the American Revolution from 1777 until the early 1780s. Alongside the river was the main road for north-south travel, used originally by Algonquian Indians and later by both British and Continental troops; a portion of it is the present-day Continental Avenue in Cohoes. The Mohawk River was the main route for travel going east and west. In the summer of 1777, the British plan was to break the colonies in half by taking control of New York to defuse the American Revolution. New York, near the middle of the 13 colonies and with 40% of its population supporting the English, would be the easiest state to control. English General Howe had taken control of NYC early on in the war. Both English Generals St. Ledger and Burgoyne were sent to Canada. The plan was that Howe would come north up the Hudson River, Burgoyne would come south down the Hudson River, and St. Ledger would travel east along the Mohawk River. The three armies would meet at Van Schaick Island, do battle and thereby take control of New York State. Gen. Phillip Schuyler, the descendant of the original business partner of Goosen Van Schaick, was in charge of the Northern Territories and was stationed on Van Schaick Island.
