It highlights how COVID-19 has caused severe human, health, food-system, and work-related disruption, increased extreme poverty, and compounded climate change impacts. The statement calls for restoring progress toward the 2030 Agenda, supporting education and social infrastructure, and expanding comprehensive social protection to strengthen resilience for poor and vulnerable communities. It emphasizes the relevance of MDBs and alignment with the WBG’s Green, Resilient and Inclusive Development framework to preserve financial sustainability while scaling lending.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \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 FOURTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 15, 2021  \nDC/S/2021-0046 October 15, 2021  \nStatement by  \nAbdulhamid Alkhalifa Director-General  \nof the  \nOPEC Fund for International Development  \nStatement by  \nAbdulhamid Alkhalifa  \nDirector-General  \nof the  \nOPEC Fund for International Development  \n104th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nOctober 15, 2021  \nWashington, DC  \nThe impacts ofCOVID-19 have stretched across all countries, and while the main concern remains, [i.e. how](i.e. how)[ ](i.e. how)[to manage the long-term implications of the pandemic in lower and middle-income countries](to manage the long-term implications of the pandemic in lower and middle-income countries) (LMICs), anticipating the possible impact of natural as well as biological hazards, and including their prevention in long-term in development programs, have also been identified as focus of major concern.  \nThe world has experienced unforeseen socio-economic adversities. The COVID-19 pandemic has been the cause for distressing loss of human life; it continues to present unprecedented challenges to public health, food systems and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is discouraging: more than 100 million people are regressing to extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year. The pandemic’s economic and social effects have compounded climate change impacts, which have been intensifying over time, particularly the last two decades. Even as economies recover, many of the consequences are likely to remain.  \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has also impaired the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, weakening decades of sustainable development progress. The pandemic has deterred human capital development through the disruption of educational systems and restrained access to social infrastructure. Women are facing diminishing income and loss of employment combined with assuming a higher share of family care. The SDG goal of reducing extreme poverty to below 3 percent by 2030 appears even more challenging. Against this expectation, the approval and implementation of comprehensive social protection packages remains essential to strengthening the resilience of poor and vulnerable households and communities to the current and future crisis.  \nThe socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, have exposed the relevance of MDBs, particularly in mobilizing resources to address global challenges. In the current context, MDBs are however facing the challenge of preserving financial sustainability while enhancing their lending capacity in order to meet the mounting financing requirements of low- and middle-income countries. In this respect, the WBG’s enhanced COVID-19 response combined with the Green, Resilient and Inclusive Development (GRID) is a highly encouraging scheme.  \nThe GRID emphasis on poverty eradication and shared prosperity, combined with sustainability, is an inclusive focus. The GRID approach promotes economic growth in line with social inclusion while respecting environmental covenants. The comprehensive approach proposed under GRID, also includes raising and utilising concessional financing, while securing support for low-income countries as well as fragile and conflict affected states, small states and countries facing migration challenges.  \nWe noted that the WBG post-pandemic approach aims at maintaining the exceptional support for the FY 2022, in collaboration with global, regional and local partners. At this juncture we wish to express our solidarity with all developing countries and OPEC Fund readiness to support the WBG efforts, both in addressin","cbCaipvwwJsKHSYp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipvwwJsKHSYp","pdf",167298,1,3,"English","en",105,"# Overview of COVID-19 impacts\n## Human, health, and socio-economic effects\n## Food systems, poverty, and climate linkages\n# Development and policy implications\n## 2030 Agenda setbacks and human capital disruptions\n## Social protection as resilience support\n# Role of development institutions and frameworks\n## MDB relevance and financing capacity\n## GRID approach: poverty, shared prosperity, and sustainability\n# Commitment and future preparedness","[{\"question\":\"What key impacts of COVID-19 does the statement emphasize?\",\"answer\":\"The statement stresses loss of life, unprecedented public health challenges, disruption to food systems and work, discouraging socio-economic effects, and rising extreme poverty.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the statement connect the pandemic to the 2030 Agenda and social protection?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that COVID-19 has impaired implementation of the 2030 Agenda and weakened sustainable development progress, and it argues that comprehensive social protection packages are essential to strengthen resilience for poor and vulnerable households.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does it assign to MDBs and the GRID approach?\",\"answer\":\"The statement highlights the relevance of MDBs in mobilizing resources, while calling for balancing financial sustainability with increased lending capacity.
