SOUTH ASIA
IDA Supporting Growth and Resilience
Development Challenge: Recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in South Asia
remains fragile and uneven, and most countries are far from pre-pandemic trend
levels. South Asia's average annual growth is forecast to be 3.4% over 2020-23,
3% less than it was in the four years preceding the pandemic. It is estimated that
48-59 million South Asians became or remained poor in 2021 due to COVID-19.
World Bank Strategy:
•
The World Bank approved $10.9 billion in lending to the region in FY21,
including $7.1 billion in IDA commitments; totaling 21 billion since March 2020
Delivered 82 advisory services and analytical products to eight countries,
totaling $47 million in FY21
Provide technical advice on issues including: pandemic preparedness and
vaccination, debt management, job creation and female labor force
participation, disaster risk management, and climate resilience
Expected Results (include):
807 million vulnerable people from poor households benefited from $2.73 billion
of funding that supported direct cash transfers to buy food and medical supplies
$2.5 billion provided for health projects to help establish or equip more than
23,000 hospitals and healthcare centers to care for COVID-19 patients
$5.5 billion of climate finance in the region since March 2020
