Togo - Eligibility Note for the Prevention and Resilience Allocation : Chair Summary

Overview & Synopsis

The Executive Directors discussed Togo’s Eligibility Note for access to the Prevention and Resilience Allocation (PRA) under the International Development Association (IDA) 21, noting the positive impact of the 2024 waiver in centering prevention and resilience, the need to further institutionalize and sustain reforms amid a challenging regional context, and the analytical basis for continued eligibility under the expanded data pathway, with priorities aligned to the refreshed World Bank Group Fragility, Conflict and Violence (FCV) strategy including youth employment, energy access, community development, service delivery, and women’s economic empowerment. Directors emphasized that PRA support should remain selective, realistic, and linked to measurable actions, underpinned by partnerships, enhanced portfolio management, and adaptive implementation to reduce grievances, strengthen institutions and social cohesion, mobilize the private sector, improve state presence in underserved areas, and confirmed Togo’s eligibility and readiness to access the PRA under the IDA21 FCV Envelope.
