At the time of growing uncertainty, tremendous complexity, IDA also provides predictability and consistency, as well as continuity. Sigrid Kaag Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, October 2019 Achieving the global goals is going to take a huge collective effort. And in that spirit of IDA partnership, I encourage every government here to step up with their fair share at the upcoming IDA replenishment. It's the right thing to do for the families threatened by Ebola in Eastern DRC, for the girl who's out of school in Afghanistan, for the Nigerian entrepreneur struggling to access credit. But it's also in all our interests to build a world that is more stable, prosperous, inclusive, and climate-resilient.

Odile Renaud-Basso Director General of the French Treasury, France, October 2019 “When the challenges are great, the response must be so, too. And as we enter a decade of action and delivery, there are many ways of us to reach our target, but few are as solid, efficient, and able to deliver support to the poorest countries as IDA.” Per Olsson Fridh State Secretary for the Ministry of International Development Cooperation, Sweden, October 2019 As long as there is poverty, there will be a need for IDA. And as long as there is IDA, there will be a need to support IDA. For our side, I think Saudi Arabia will no doubt join that effort. Khaled bin Sulaiman Alkhudairy Vice Chairman and Managing Director of the Saudi Fund for Development, Saudi Arabia, October 2019 IDA contribution is not a charity. It is for the common interest of developing and developed countries alike. By support low-income countries, IDA can boost world demand, develop global infrastructure and improve doing business environment. And all of these are global public goods. Zou Jiayi Vice Minister of the Ministry of Finance, China, October 2019 IDA makes it possible for my young people to have alternatives, to get skills for job creation. It makes it possible for many of the women who don’t have a voice to be able to have a voice, because of the different programs that focus on gender equality and youth unemployment.

Félix Moloua Minister of Economy, Planning and Cooperation, Central African Republic, October 2019 IDA has been the most important source of funding Nepal’s development. … Actually when World Bank resources came in we were able to have wider telephone coverage to the people and population even in the rural areas. Now more people have digital access to goods and services. Yuba Raj Khatiwada Minister of Finance, Nepal, October 2019 Chad – which doesn’t have access to other financial windows, commercial windows – saw its resources double thanks to IDA. … There is no other institution today that can grasp development issues in fragile countries better than the World Bank. … Without security you cannot talk about development and without development you cannot talk about security.
