States Hosting Displaced Persons to Access $12m World Bank Performance Loan
World Bank-backed funding will be disbursed only after independent verification that host states improved conditions for internally displaced persons.
Further reporting across multiple outlets indicates the development is drawing heightened attention, with stakeholders watching for next steps from relevant authorities and institutions.
Echotitbits take: This ‘results-based’ financing model is a direct response to years of alleged mismanagement in IDP funds. Watch for which states successfully clear the independent audits, as this could become a blueprint for future humanitarian aid.
