Economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, fragility, conflict and violence, displacement, and food and nutrition insecurity are compounded by water and energy scarcity, connectivity gaps, and constrained fiscal space. The proposal sets strategic directions to help IDA scale results faster and more efficiently, expand resilience, and strengthen outcomes through knowledge, evidence, partnerships, and a renewed policy framework.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION  \n21ST REPLENISHMENT:  \nPROPOSED STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nA. The challenge and opportunity  \n1. The twenty first replenishment of the International Development Association (IDA21) is taking place in the face of multiple crises that have upended development progress in the poorest countries. Against a global backdrop of economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and multiple crises, 1 the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in IDA countries are further off their 2030 trajectory.2 The polycrisis has partially reversed decades of development progress, exacerbating poverty and inequality, disrupting supply chains, constraining trade, increasing food insecurity, and diminishing job opportunities, especially for women and youth. IDA countries have experienced a marked increase in fragility, conflict, and violence (FCV), and the population struggles to build resilience against mounting shocks, food and nutrition insecurity, pandemic and climate risks and declines in biodiversity. The number of forcibly displaced people has also risen, profoundly affecting migration patterns. These challenges unfold against a backdrop of water and energy scarcity, connectivity gaps, and limited access to essential goods and services.3 In many IDA countries, fiscal space is constrained by weak per capita growth, as evidenced by the expected 2.3 percent Gross Development Product (GDP) per capita growth in IDA countries for 2024, falling notably short of the  \n3.3 percent seen in other emerging markets and developing economies. Additionally, there are mounting concerns over persistent debt vulnerabilities, as IDA countries collectively allocate 7.5 percent of their GDP to debt service payments.4 The impacts of these multiple shocks hit poor populations the hardest.  \n2. Time is of the essence to help IDA countries get back on the pathway to eradicate poverty on a livable planet. In the face of these challenges, IDA must leverage its convening power, knowledge, resources, and partnerships, with a response that meets the expectations of the global community. Decisive action is critical, and IDA21 needs to ramp up ambition to help IDA countries face the current crises in the short-term, while continuing to focus on long-term development goals and increasing countries’ resilience to crises. Demographic shifts, the advent of new technologies, and the potential for high-return investments in resilient development present opportunities to improve prospects for millions of people in IDA countries.
