IDA’s innovative replenishment model, which leverages every donor dollar 3.5 to 4 times, has transformed moderate contributions into life-changing investments for low-income countries. Over the past decade , this model has enabled IDA to mobilize and deploy $270 billion, with $179 billion directed to Africa. In our ongoing efforts to explore how IDA can support African countries in addressing global challenges, our latest report highlights the critical need for IDA to take a leadership role in offering local currency loans. This approach can help low-income countries (LICs) avoid worsening debt burdens.

“The case for more IDA funding does not solely rest on need but also on African countries’ ability to enhance their absorptive and governance capacities to effectively utilize funds and demonstrate accountability.” With the The World Bank announcing a record $100 billion IDA Replenishment in its 21st cycle (IDA21) today, our CEO, Daouda Sembene, PhD and Mahmoud Mohieldin co-authored an opinion piece exploring how IDA’s critical financing can serve as a stepping stone toward a stronger global financial safety net which can drive consistent progress toward achieving #SDGs and #Agenda2063. They emphasize the need to reimagine IDA not as a donor-beneficiary framework but as an equal partnership between borrowers and donors, one designed to tackle global challenges and shape a shared, sustainable future for all.
