The Bank targeted up to USD 10 billion in crisis related assistance, including support for economic recovery.
The NDB was one of the first multilateral development banks to provide financial support in response to the COVID-19 emergency, and the organization was commended for its agility and promptness to support countries in responding to a crisis of an unprecedented global nature. The evaluation was particularly timely to assess results and draw lessons, also in light of the global attention to crisis prevention, preparedness and response.
