Summary Note
|
IDA aims to reduce poverty by providing interest-free credits and grants for programs that
boost economic growth, reduce inequalities and improve people’s living conditions. IDA
lends money (known as credits) on concessional terms. This means that IDA credits have no
interest charge and repayments are stretched over 35 to 40 years, including a 10-year grace
period. IDA also provides grants to countries at risk of debt distress. IDA’s response to
the challenge of climate change has been developed as part of the Bank’s Clean Energy
Investment Framework (CEIF). The main elements of the CEIF are: improving access to
clean energy, supporting the transition to a low carbon development trajectory, and supporting
adaptation to climate change.
