Hon. Anne-Marie Trevelyan and Rt. Hon. Rishi Sunak - 101st Meeting of the Development Committee - April 17, 2020","The statement by UK officials Anne-Marie Trevelyan and Rishi Sunak addresses the global response required for COVID-19 at the 101st Development Committee meeting. It emphasizes that the unprecedented crisis demands an unprecedented, coordinated and worldwide action, highlighting the heightened risk created by weak health systems in developing countries. The UK commits funding for international efforts, coalition work for vaccine development, rapid testing and medicines, and supports temporary debt repayment suspension for eligible low-income states. It calls on the World Bank Group to mobilize immediate assistance, extend support across health, social and economic impacts, and prioritize the most vulnerable, including women and girls, while aligning with WHO strategic plans.","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 ONE MEETING  \nWASHINGTON, DC – APRIL 17, 2020  \n(VIRTUAL)  \nDC/S/2020-0020 April 17, 2020  \nStatement by  \nRt. Hon. Anne-Marie Trevelyan Secretary of State for International Development  \nand  \nRt. Hon. Rishi Sunak Chancellor of the Exchequer  \nUnited Kingdom  \nStatement by  \nRt. Hon. Anne-Marie Trevelyan  \nSecretary of State for International Development  \nand  \nRt. Hon. Rishi Sunak  \nChancellor of the Exchequer  \nUnited Kingdom  \n101st Meeting of the Development Committee  \nApril 17, 2020  \nWashington, DC  \n(VIRTUAL)  \nSince 1974, Governors ofthe World Bank Group (WBG) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have come together at the Development Committee to take stock of global progress towards our shared goals. At no time since then have Governments faced a global health, social, humanitarian and economic crisis of the magnitude that we currently face.  \nAn unprecedented crisis requires an unprecedented response. The first ofthe WBG’s founding Articles of Agreement, written in 1944, calls on the Bank ‘to bring about a smooth transition from a wartime to a peacetime economy’. We must deal with our own domestic circumstances, but equally as vital is a collective, coordinated and overwhelming response. A response deployed at a truly global scale to win this war and defeat this virus. COVID-19 respects no borders. All must play their part; tackling this disease together is our only option.  \nThe weakness of developing countries’ healthcare systems is one of the biggest risks to the global spread of the virus. Global action is a prerequisite if we want to provide resilient protection for our own populationsand economies. The United Kingdom is committed to playing a leading role to tackle COVID-19. We have so far announced up to £744 million to support the international response, from support to the international effort to find a vaccine, to sending British experts on infectious disease to fresh outbreaks, to ensuring clean water.  \nWe’re forging an international coalition to find a vaccine. We’re contributing to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, a global alliance striving to develop a vaccine. The UK is supporting organisations focused on producing rapid tests for coronavirus and developing medicines to treat the disease.  \nWe recognise that as all countries around the world strive to marshal their resources to fight COVID-19, the poorest countries have very few options to do so. The United Kingdom supports the work of G20 creditors, with the Paris Club, to provide a temporary suspension of debt repayments from eligible countries that request relief, in order to augment their capacity to respond.  \nInternational Financial Institutions have a central role to play in the international community’s response to the health and economic effects of COVID-19. The United Kingdom believes the WBG should be at the forefront of the global response to the threats posed by COVID-19, guided by the following principles:  \n• Firstly, the WBG should provide immediate assistance to developing countries as part of a coordinated international effort to help strengthen their response. The United Kingdom welcomes the World Bank Group’s commitment to mobilise $14 billion of urgent support to provide medical equipment, boost health systems and keep crucial trade and economic activity afloat in its client countries over the next three months. To increase our impact, both financial and on the ground, close cooperation between us all is crucial. We expect the WBG to work actively alongside other organisations leading the response to COVID-19. This should include the World Health Organization, the UN Coordinating Agencies, the IMF, regional development banks and other international partners.
