Kamalidini Souef - 104th Meeting of the Development Committee - October 15, 2021","Written statement delivered by H.E. Kamalidini Souef, Minister of Finance, Budget and the Banking Sector of Comoros, on behalf of the Group II African Countries at the 104th Development Committee meeting in Washington, DC on October 15, 2021. It addresses the Development Committee agenda, including World Bank Group financing for green, resilient and inclusive development in a post-pandemic approach; crisis prevention and response; and key review reports on shareholding and IDA voting rights. The statement calls for fair GRID implementation aligned with the Paris Agreement, flexible collaboration, scaled concessional climate finance, and scaled investments to build climate-smart infrastructure.","Public Disc losure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \n(Joint Ministerial Committee of the  \nBoards of Governors ofthe Bank and the Fundon the  \nTransfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries)  \nONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 15, 2021  \nPub lic Disc losure Authorized  \nDC/S/2021-0039(E) October 15, 2021  \nStatement by  \nH.E. Kamalidini Souef  \nMinister of Finance, Budget and the Banking Sector  \nComoros  \nOn behalf of the Group II African Countries  \nStatement by  \nH.E. Kamalidini Souef  \nMinister of Finance, Budget and the Banking Sector  \nComoros  \nOn behalf of the Group II African Countries  \n104th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nOctober 15, 2021  \nWashington, DC  \nThis written statement on behalf of the Africa Group II Constituency addresses the topics appearing on the Development Committee’s agenda, namely: (1) WBG Financing for Green, Resilient and Inclusive Development - Towards A Post-Pandemic Approach; (2) Prevention, Preparedness, and Response: The WBG’s Role in Future Crises; (3) 2020 Shareholding Review: Concluding Report to Governors at the Annual Meetings 2021; and (4) IDA Voting Rights Review: Report to Governors, Annual Meetings 2021.  \nWBG Financing for Green, Resilient and Inclusive Development - Towards a Post-Pandemic Approach  \nWe wish to thank the staff of the World Bank Group (WBG) for the quality of this paper, which underscores the unprecedented support that the WBG has been providing to developing countries since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020. We welcome these efforts that have provided the resources needed to ramp up our interventions and address the socioeconomic consequences of the crisis.  \nWe wholeheartedly endorse the approach proposed by the World Bank Group to scale up its support for a green, resilient, and inclusive recovery. The current climate challenges underscore the need to build back better in order to combat droughts and floods that lead in particular to the forced displacement of populations and food insecurity. Estimates of the UN Refugee Agency show that the Sahel region is already bearing the full brunt of the harmful effects of climate change. The World Bank projects that the number of inhabitants in this region will double over the next 20 to 30 years, while productivity in the area is expected to decline by between 30 and 40 percent. The stakes are equally high for the small island states in our constituency. The Africa region, which contributes the least to global warming, accounting for roughly 2 to 3 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, is, however, the region that is most vulnerable and hardest hit by climate hazards.  \nThis situation is exacerbated by the grave consequences of the pandemic that has pushed more than 30 million Africans into extreme poverty in 2020, even as the crisis persists and the outlook for the economic recovery that is expected to turn this situation around remains uncertain. Poor and vulnerable populations, who are already exposed to the risks of climate change impacts, should not be the ones to also suffer the negative consequences of the actions taken to address this scourge. We are therefore calling for the GRID agenda to be implemented using a fair and equitable approach that is in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change and national development priorities. In this respect, the World Bank Group must remain flexible in its collaboration with countries, ensuring that the specific needs of each country are fully and properly taken into account.  \nIn particular, we encourage the World Bank Group to adopt a differentiated GRID approach for the poorest and most vulnerable countries, with a view to aligning climate action with development objectives that include energy security, employment, and economic transformation. In this regard, we recommend that the World Bank Group ensure effective coordination of support to countries by balancing mitigation and  \nadaptation measures, ap","cbCaibplLJ1LyERY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibplLJ1LyERY","pdf",159604,1,5,"English","en",105,"# Statement overview\n## WBG financing for green, resilient and inclusive development (GRID)\n## Crisis prevention, preparedness, and response\n## 2020 shareholding review\n## IDA voting rights review","[{\"question\":\"Who delivered the statement and on whose behalf?\",\"answer\":\"H.E.
