Summary of The world can't afford to leave Africa behind post-COVID
- The world needs collective action to address Africa’s financing needs, and to support an inclusive and sustainable recovery of African economies from the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The global community has an opportunity to make good on the 20th replenishment of a 60-year-old World Bank programme known as the International Development Association.
- The objective is an IDA20 replenishment envelope of at least $100 billion, for three years, which would be the largest in the IDA’s history.
