Today in Sudan, I delivered remarks on the country’s progress but also the reversals in development during this “time of upheaval.”

The world faces many challenges to boost growth, shorten the crisis, resume development & prepare for the future.

As of 2020, 690M people are hungry. Improving access to safe & nutritious food is a key priority for us & putting food systems on a sustainable path will take a major shift in incentives.

The Taskforce’s data shows specific vaccine supply gaps—globally and for each country.

It also identifies countries with excess doses & vaccine supplies (e.g., G7 countries have collectively pre-purchased 2.4 billion excess doses, not counting their purchase options).

The Multilateral Leaders Taskforce on #COVID19 is working to accelerate access & delivery of vaccines to developing countries by enhancing transparency & facilitating targeted solutions.

At today's @g20org International Tax Symposium, I emphasized the need for fiscal policies that integrate climate & development goals.

Balanced incentive structures & sufficient resources for the world’s poorest countries are key.

At the @g20org International Conference on Climate, I affirmed the @WorldBank Group's commitment to integrate climate & development.

A country-based, data-driven approach to prioritize changes in subsidies, taxes & investments is essential.

I was glad to convene & chair today’s first meeting of our Task Force on #COVID19 Vaccines, Therapeutics & Diagnostics for Developing Countries with @KGeorgieva, @DrTedros & @NOIweala.

Accelerating access to vaccines is critical.

[David Malpass @DavidRMalpass]

Given accelerating demand for #COVID19 vaccine finance, the @WorldBank Group is now able to make available financing up to $20b over the next 18 months – surplus doses must be released for use by developing countries.

The @WorldBank Group can fully fund the purchase of 400 million J&J doses for Africa, negotiated by @AfricaCDC & #AVATT.

I am excited to have @UNICEF join us in this important partnership – their assistance will do much toward getting people vaccinated.

[David Malpass @DavidRMalpass]

As the @WorldBank Group works to help developing countries expand vaccine manufacturing capabilities, today’s @IFC_org €600m long-term financing package for Aspen Pharmacare will do much to help with Africa’s #COVID19 response.

The @WorldBank Group now accounts for over half of multilateral climate finance to developing countries & 2/3 of adaptation finance.

We are increasing climate finance & focusing on meaningful results —  greenhouse gas reduction & successful adaptation to climate change.

[David Malpass @DavidRMalpass]

.@WorldBank Group financing, diagnostics & advice will help the largest emitters flatten the emissions curve.

These will also help countries achieve successful adaptation & resilience to climate change, while preserving jobs and improving livelihoods.
