    Tackling issues like climate change, global poverty, and preventable disease is possible. With political will and targeted funding. The good news: governments have made progress and added $700 billion per year in official finance to fight these issues. But the bad news: There's still a $1.75 trillion annual spending gap.

    The World Bank's International Development Association (IDA) is a very important global player, as it protects the lives and livelihoods of 1.3 billion people in the world’s poorest countries. And while that is important to know, it's even more important to understand IDA's on-the-ground impact. Here's a closer look at IDA's impact in Nigeria. ⬇️

    📅 This week, Finance Ministers gather in Washington 💼✈️ Here’s the inside scoop on what’s happening. But first, what’s at stake? 🤔💰🌍 📊 IMF’s World Economic Outlook projects 2024 & 2025 growth to hold at 3.2%, with inflation falling to 3.5% by end of 2025. 📉 ⚠️ But the IMF warned that global debt will surpass $100 trillion by the end of the year (93% of global GDP). In part driven by elections as governments turn on the spending taps 💸 and cut taxes 💰. 💥 The debt issue is a major challenge for low and middle-income countries, whose debt burdens spiraled 📉 as the US Federal Reserve increased interest rates 📊 to calm domestic inflation. 💔 1 in 3 people on the planet 🌍 live in countries that spend more on debt service than on health 🏥 or education 📚 – curbing investments for the future and building resilience to climate shocks 🌪️. 🤔 So what will Finance Ministers do about it? 💬 There’ll be lots of talking. Discussing the problem. And a few technical tweaks to the Multilateral Development Bank System 🏦. 🔓 Steps announced already have unlocked $150bn in new lending headroom at the World Bank and roughly $400bn across the Development Bank System. 💡 This is a potential solution to the debt crisis – half of Africa’s 🌍 debt service is to private creditors, who are very expensive 💸. Unlocking low-cost lending is badly needed. ✔️ 🌍 Developing country groupings like the G24 are demanding big reforms: But, most of the Annual Meetings will be dominated by marginal announcements, investments, and initiatives. There is no big plan. Look out for: 🔋 Contributions to the World Bank’s Livable Planet Fund 🌱. So far, only Japan, Denmark, Iceland & Germany have contributed. More countries may announce support on Friday. 📅 🎤 Support for IDA - the World Bank’s Low Income Country Fund. US Treasury Secretary Yellen reaffirmed her commitment to delivering a robust package for the IDA replenishment. Great to see! 💬 📢 As the news rolls in about likely further aid cuts 📉, UK development minister, Anneliese Dodds, will announce a £7.5m investment in the gender trust fund 👩💼. Enough money to provide about 900 places at a UK women’s centre for two years 🏢👩👩👧. 🇱🇮 Liechtenstein officially became the IMF’s 191st member 🌍. 🌾 Expect some agri-business announcements —during a flagship ag/food & jobs event. 🌱 💬 Quote of the week goes to Barbados PM Mia Mottley: 🗣️ “If the world can put a man on the moon 🌕 and solve male baldness 🧑🦲, it can find a way to put an affordable tablet 📱 in every child’s hands so they can get an education 🎓.” 👀 Look out for: 📄 The IMF Fiscal Monitor release 🌍 The Global Sovereign Debt Roundtable 🌱 The Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action #GlobalFinance #IMF #WorldBank #SDRs #GenderInclusion #AgriBusiness #Development #WBGMeetings

    The World Bank Annual Meetings are happening this week, a key moment for international development. Here are four important things to know about the World Bank: 1. It plays a key role in reducing global poverty and promoting equality. 2. It’s helping to address the climate crisis. 3. It’s working to combat food insecurity, inflation, and other economic pressures impacting us all. 4. It’s ensuring the world is better prepared for global health challenges, from preventable diseases to future pandemics. The World Bank's work has a direct impact on many of the global challenges we face today. That's why we are working to ensure that the World Bank and other global players make smart investments to get important funding where it's needed. Here's how we're keeping track: https://lnkd.in/ewZmppPd

    This weekend the WHO officially declared Egypt malaria-free! Egypt joins 44 others that have reached this milestone. Malaria kills at least 600,000 people every year, nearly all of them in Africa, so this is a BIG deal. "Malaria is as old as Egyptian civilization itself, but the disease that plagued pharaohs now belongs to its history," said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the WHO. This news is proof that major progress is possible with smart investments, action, and advocacy. Learn more about the current state of health financing: https://lnkd.in/g6c_6_zY

    The World Bank manages funds from countries and provides loans and grants to help improve economies, healthcare, and education. But with extreme poverty on the rise and government budgets stretched thin, you'd expect the World Bank to step in. The problem? It's nearly 80 years old, and its processes aren’t built for speed. The good news is that there are ways to modernize the World Bank that wouldn’t cost taxpayers a thing but could have a huge impact on vulnerable communities. ✅ At ONE, we're advocating for these changes to get funding where it’s needed faster.
