This document is the UK government’s response to the Independent Commission for Aid Impact’s (ICAI) review into the UK’s support to the World Bank’s International Development Association

The FCDO welcomes ICAI’s finding that the UK is the ‘most influential’ donor to the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA).

ICAI recognises that the UK’s influence over IDA is not just dependent on the scale of our funding but on our:

• ‘intellectual contributions and agile networking’
• utilising our ‘world-class global diplomatic and development network’
• policy and political leadership

We support ICAI’s judgment that that this influence can be sustained in the future even when the UK is not the largest donor to IDA.
