  2. The World Bank’s 2010 Pledge to Basic Education “[T]oday I am proud to announce that the Bank’s International Development Association (IDA), our Fund for the Poorest, will increase grants and zero interest loans for basic education by an additional $750 million over the next five years to 2015. This represents about a 40% increase in our basic education lending over the past five years for the poorest countries. These additional resources will be targeted toward countries that are off-track to reach the education MDGs by 2015, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. In order to yield the highest impact, the Bank will seek to leverage these additional IDA funds to support low-income countries that receive financing from the Education for All Fast Track Initiative.” — NgoziOkonjo-Iweala, former Senior Managing Director of the World Bank, New York, September 20, 2010 Tony Baker World Bank Annual Meetings Washington, D.C.
