IDA20 Retrospective | Delivering Impact in Times of Crisis

Join us for the launch of the IDA20 Retrospective Report, a powerful story of development impact in the face of unprecedented global challenges. See how $97.4 billion in financing delivered real results: social safety nets for 122+ million people, internet access for 138 million, and critical support for nearly 200 million people in fragile settings. Celebrate what IDA20 achieved—and get a first look at the priorities that are driving preparation for IDA22. Hear directly from @WorldBankGroup leaders, development partners, and voices from IDA countries, sharing stories of transformational impact. #IDAworks The event is co-hosted with the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET).
