In short
- A proposed World Bank partnership framework sets an indicative $13.4 billion in IDA financing for Ethiopia from 2027 to 2036, with annual access dependent on reform performance, implementation capacity and available resources.
Ethiopia could receive an indicative $13.4 billion in International Development Association financing over the decade from 2027 to 2036 under a new World Bank Country Partnership Framework, The Reporter said on August 15, 2026.
The amount is not a guaranteed commitment. Annual allocations would depend on the availability of IDA resources, Ethiopia’s policy and reform performance, implementation capacity, income and population factors, and the number of eligible countries.
The document put the World Bank’s current Ethiopia portfolio at about $16 billion. That includes roughly $13 billion in national IDA financing, $2.5 billion in regional IDA operations and $940 million in trust funds.
The framework links future financing to continued reforms and says support could be adjusted if policy momentum or the operating environment weakens. Slower reform could lead the Bank to reduce development-policy financing and shift more emphasis toward human-development outcomes.
It also targets $10.9 billion in mobilized private capital over 10 years, compared with a 2025 baseline of $6.9 billion. Domestic tax revenue is targeted to rise from about 8 percent of GDP to 12 percent within five years and 15 percent within a decade through broader coverage, improved compliance and stronger customs and digital administration.
