  • (SSA) Countries IDA19 Fourth Replenishment Meeting, December 12-13, 2019, Stockholm, Sweden
    African Countries are Awakening Hope for a Better Tomorrow with IDA Statement by Representatives of 49 Sub-Saharan African (SSA) Countries IDA19 Fourth Replenishment Meeting, December 12-13, 2019, Stockholm, Sweden 1. IDA countries have only 10 years to achieve the globally agreed targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given that it takes 9 years for pledges under any IDA cycle to be fully paid up, IDA19 is therefore, the last replenishment to help finance the SDGs in the time left to 2030. 2. Africa as a continent is making progress towards the SDGs. Growth in many economies has outpaced global benchmarks. More children are in school and health service coverage is expanding. A continent-wide free-trade agreement shows regional cooperation is alive and deepening, including in building roads and power lines that bring countries together and make markets bigger. The support of donors to the 18th replenishment of the International Development Association (IDA18) has been pivotal and has underpinned the partnership between African countries and the World Bank Group (WBG) that has never been stronger. Indeed, Africa’s absorptive capacity to carefully use concessional funds has ensured that the pace of commitment for IDA18 has been record-breaking. 3. We want to acknowledge the strong partnership between IDA and most of our countries. We commend all donors for the important role that IDA has been playing in the transformation agenda of most SSA countries. We are happy with the negotiated IDA19 package and the continuation of all the special themes of IDA18, the Private Sector Window, and the improvements to the various facilities especially under Fragility, Conflict and Violence (FCV).

It is surrounded by the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. On its northern borders (moving west to east) lie Namibia (formerly South West Africa), Botswana (formerly Bechuanaland), Zimbabwe (Rhodesia until 1980) and Mozambique, a Portuguese colony until 1975. Swaziland also occupies South Africa’s eastern border, and the tiny kingdom of Lesotho is surrounded by South Africa, east of center. South Africa is a vibrant, young country, emerging from three centuries of European colonialism and white domination. In 2015 the nation marks its second decade free of apartheid. This is therefore a truly revolutionary era for South Africa as it continues to evolve from its European past into an African future. You will have a unique opportunity to experience a new and vibrant nation as it strives to harmonize peoples of diverse African, Indian and European heritage into one community with a common culture after centuries of division. Part of South Africa, the Cape Colony, was once a colonial possession of the Netherlands and, since the early nineteenth century, Britain. This dual colonial legacy is reflected in the two European languages still spoken widely: English and Afrikaans.
