Sigrid Kaag","This statement by H.E. Sigrid Kaag, representing a constituency of countries at the 102nd Virtual Meeting of the Development Committee, thanks the World Bank for its unprecedented COVID-19 response and recovery support. It endorses the strategy “Saving Lives, Scaling-Up Impact and Getting Back on Track,” stressing that recovery must align with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. The statement calls for strict climate and inclusion criteria, partnership with the UN and other development partners, stronger gender-sensitive and health-focused investments, and practical steps to improve access, financing gaps, and educational resilience.","Public Disc losure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \nPub lic Disc losure Authorized  \n(Joint Ministerial Committee  \nof the  \nBoards of Governors ofthe Bank and the Fund  \non the  \nTransfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries)  \nONE HUNDRED AND TWO MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 16, 2020  \n(VIRTUAL)  \nDC/S/2020-0061 October 16, 2020  \nStatement by  \nH.E Sigrid Kaag  \nMinister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation  \nKingdom of the Netherlands  \nRepresenting the Constituency of Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Israel, Moldova, Montenegro, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Romania and  \nUkraine  \nStatement by  \nH.E. Sigrid Kaag  \nMinister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation  \nKingdom of the Netherlands  \nRepresenting the constituency of Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Israel, Moldova, Montenegro, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Romania and  \nUkraine  \n102nd Meeting of the Development Committee  \nOctober 16, 2020  \nWashington, DC  \n(VIRTUAL)  \nOur Constituency would like to express its appreciation for the Bank’s fast and unprecedented response to the COVID-19 crisis during the first, urgent relief phase as well as during the recovery and resilience phases. We welcome the Bank’s commitment to its strategy for ‘Saving Lives, Scaling-Up Impact and Getting Back on Track’, which outlines the Bank’s approach to helping countries achieve a resilient, inclusive and sustainable recovery in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. These two frameworks are our shared point of reference for long-term sustainable development, and must remain our guide to recovery.  \nThe Bank’s response to COVID-19  \nOur Constituency supports the Bank’s focus on the places where the needs are greatest: the most vulnerable countries, with particular attention to communities in fragile and conflict-affected areas and to women and girls.  \nWhile welcoming the Bank’s primary focus on the most vulnerable countries, we encourage it to keep serving all its clients, as COVID-19 affects everyone – in our Constituency as elsewhere. The IBRD, IFC and MIGA all have a crucial role to play in our countries, as loss of revenues and remittances as well as a continuing brain drain are hitting them hard. We very much appreciate the Bank’s timely support to our countries, as well as the recent virtual meeting our Governors had with President Malpass. As our needs evolve, the Bank will remain an important partner.  \nThe Bank itself has a crucial role to play in supporting client countries as they move towards a sustainable, green and inclusive economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, through either policy advice or finance packages. We call on the Bank to apply strict climate and inclusion criteria to ensure that COVID-19 response measures, and in particular economic recovery packages and debt relief measures, contribute to a green and inclusive economic recovery.  \nWe count on the Bank’s leadership in transforming the global economy in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. It is essential, especially now, for the Bank to make visible progress towards aligning its activities with the Paris Agreement. We look forward to the operationalisation of the Paris Alignment framework, including an accelerated and progressive shift away from fossil fuels. We support the Bank on this crucial agenda.  \nWe believe that working with country-based recovery strategies and adjusting country programmes in response to COVID-19 is key to tailoring the Bank’s interventions to each client’s needs. We expect  \nthese strategies to include information on countries’ external financing gaps, and on their ability to access capital markets and Bank financing beyond annual regular lending. Joint analyses on crucial issues such as poverty, inclusion and the gender-differentiated impact ofCOVID-19 could complement these strategies.
