If debt dynamics worsen, who will bear the burden: donors or the poorest countries? New piece with @ClemenceLanders explores potential scenarios. Ultimately, donors need to signal willingness to bankroll the grant program, whatever it takes. cgdev.org/blog/ida-equipped-…

Shiny new objects are a poor substitute for effective action. It’s a way of scoring easy points in the short-term but sows seeds of distrust when results don’t follow. Ultimately, I’m afraid that is exactly what the L&D Fund is setting out to do, with or without the U.S.

I share my @CGDev colleague's skepticism on L&D funds, but indeed, the world could get on with it to some effect. @ClemenceLanders

A huge amount of good could be done by regulating paint makers in the 50-60 countries where lead is still used in paint, and 10 countries where lead contamination of spices is a big issue. This isn't costly, shouldn't be that hard.

Today @CGDev releases the final statement of our Working Group on Lead Poisoning, signed by 26 leading experts and practitioners.
In it, we call on world leaders to end childhood lead poisoning by 2040--and outline why it matters and how it can happen.

It's outrageous how few resources are focused on a problem that causes so much harm and yet is totally solvable.

From Ajay Banga at CFR: The paid-in capital of the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development is $22.6 billion. That is a pimple on a dimple on an ant’s left cheek compared to what we need in the world, just so you know—22.6 (billion dollars). cfr.org/event/david-morse-le…
