Responding to Multiple Crises on the Road to 2030: Growth, People, Resilience
The 19th replenishment was initially designed to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The context soon changed dramatically when COVID-19 became a global pandemic. IDA responded rapidly and at scale, redirecting its focus to address the rapidly spreading health emergency as well as the substantial economic fallout, which was reversing decades of poverty reduction. This meant that, for the first time since IDA’s inception, a replenishment cycle was shortened from three to two years (July 2020-June 2022) to enable significant surge financing to countries.
