Issue Brief: 15th Replenishment of the International Development Association - June 2007 (Revised September 2007)
Approximately one tenth, or $320 million, of all of Canada's aid money currently goes to the World Bank's soft loan and grant-making facility, the International Development Association.

Every three years, the World's donors - including Canada - meet to discuss how much money is needed to replenish this facility and how they want that money to be lent.

It provides long-term interest-free loans and grants to 81 of the world’s poorest, or low-income, countries.
