Global outbreak of COVID-19  \nWith the global outbreak ofCOVID-19, the international community is facing an unprecedented crisis. The disease is now reaching developing countries whose health system is vulnerable, without the capacity to respond.  \nProviding support to these countries is an urgent agenda we need to address. Preventing health emergencies in developing countries will help instill swift recovery of the global economy. We can contain the spread of the virus while providing the necessary support to sustain and enhance economic activities.  \nNow is the time for the international community to unite. We should spare no efforts to overcome this unprecedented crisis.  \n2. Supporting developing countries impacted by COVID-19  \ni) World Bank Group COVID-19 response package  \nThe World Bank Group’s fast-track COVID-19 package, released on March 17 with a total envelope of US$ 14 billion, has been followed by an announcement on March 26 that up to US$ 160 billion will be deployed over 15 months.  \nJapan welcomes the proactive and timely response by the World Bank Group. Indeed, supporting developing countries address COVID-19 is critically important. Japan urges the World Bank Group to implement the package in an expeditious manner and to ensure that aid is delivered to the people living in developing countries as quickly as possible.  \nBolstering financial capacity of the World Bank Group bears particular importance. Japan will provide JPY 400.5 billion (US$ 3.67 billion) to IDA19 and US$ 560 million (JPY 61.7 billion) to the IFC capital increase. In this regard, Japan has enacted a law on March 31. We urge other member countries to follow suit in an expeditious manner.  \nOn IDA19, Japan highly values that its policy framework features global health, covering such areas as pandemic response and UHC (Universal Health Coverage), along with debt sustainability, quality infrastructure, and resilience against natural disasters. Steadfast implementation on the ground will be important going forward.  \nii) Japan’s support in partnership with the World Bank Group  \nPandemic response is a development policy agenda that Japan has been championing. Japan is committed to taking the lead in the international community’s fight against COVID-19, harnessing the expertise that has been acquired over the years. In partnership with the World Bank Group, Japan will provide the following assistance.  \na) An agile and quick support mechanism to help cope with COVID-19  \nMinimizing damage from infectious diseases hinges absolutely on the capacity to provide adequate health services from the early stages of an outbreak while putting in place proper measures to prevent the viral contagion.  \nTo this end, we need a mechanism that delivers quick and effective support to developing countries, helping them provide the right response to infectious diseases. These undertakings should not end up as a one-off event. Hence, the need to encourage developing countries to strengthen preparedness against infectious diseases in a proactive manner.  \nIn partnership with the World Bank, Japan is launching a landmark mechanism, named “Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Multi-Donor Fund (HEPRF).” It aims at providing quick and effective support to developing countries in their response to infectious diseases, while incentivizing them to stre","cbCaisRGy6bxiUFj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisRGy6bxiUFj","pdf",75909,5,1,4,"English","en",105,"# Global outbreak of COVID-19\n## Supporting developing countries impacted by COVID-19\n### World Bank Group COVID-19 response package\n### Japan’s support in partnership with the World Bank Group\n#### An agile and quick support mechanism to help cope with COVID-19\n#### Build the capacity of developing countries’ response to COVID-19\n#### Support the development of vaccines to overcome COVID-19\n### Time-bound suspension of debt service payments for the poorest countries","[{\"question\":\"What global challenge does the statement highlight regarding COVID-19?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights that COVID-19 is reaching developing countries with vulnerable health systems that lack capacity to respond, creating an urgent need for support and crisis prevention.\"},{\"question\":\"What is Japan’s position on the World Bank Group’s COVID-19 response package?\",\"answer\":\"Japan welcomes the World Bank Group’s fast-track package and urges expeditious implementation while ensuring aid reaches people in developing countries as quickly as possible.\"},{\"question\":\"What key partnership actions does Japan propose with the World Bank Group?\",\"answer\":\"Japan outlines initiatives including the HEPRF mechanism for rapid support and incentives for preparedness, capacity building for prevention and response, and financing to support vaccine development through IAVI.\"}]","Statement by Yoshiki Takeuchi -
