IDA Overview

The International Development Association (IDA) provides assistance on concessional terms to the poorest developing countries, those that cannot afford to borrow from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. IDA depends on contributions from its more affluent member countries, including some developing countries, for most of its financial resources.
