STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Global aid architecture has transformed significantly in the last two decades, with Official Financial Flows (OFF) increasing and benefiting low-income countries.
• However, this led to a complex and fragmented aid architecture and fewer concessional resources. Multiple donors and channels create obstacles for low-income countries with weak implementation capacity.
• IDA is the partner of choice to tackle challenges caused by complex aid architecture. Its global presence and ability to convene stakeholders facilitate better coordination among various efforts.
