A fund for people and planet, the World Bank’s International Development Agency (IDA) offers expertise and concessional financing to 75 recipient countries for critical investments in a country’s national development plans across a breadth of sectors. The IDA21 Replenishment comes at a time when there is an urgent need to address the mounting risks of overlapping extreme poverty, malnutrition, food insecurity, health and climate crises. In the six years remaining to 2030, the world is universally off track to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 to end hunger and all forms of malnutrition, particularly in IDA countries where 92% of people who face hunger live.
With the right policy package and financial investments that address malnutrition and food insecurity, the IDA21 Replenishment can be a vital lifeline of evidence-based solutions that save lives now, build resilience and secure the future.
Join us in calling for the prioritisation of nutrition and food security in IDA21.
