Replenish, Disburse and Deliver How the World Bank IDA21 can better serve communities impacted by fragility, conflict and violence.

In order to meet the World Bank’s updated mission to eliminate extreme poverty on a livable planet, it is essential that the World Bank International Development Association (IDA) is resourced and impactful in conflict-affected Least Developed Countries (LDCs) where extreme poverty and climate impacts are increasingly concentrated.

This briefing provides an overview of the importance of IDA as a source of finance for conflict-affected LDCs, the challenges in disbursing IDA in these countries and the opportunities to improve the delivery of IDA and enhance immediate and long-term impact through a wider range of humanitarian partnerships.
