Persatuan Pembangunan Antarabangsa
Persatuan Pembangunan Antarabangsa atau (Bahasa Inggeris: International Development Association) (IDA), ialah sebahagian daripada Bank Dunia yang menolong negara-negara termiskin di dunia. Ia menyempurnakan satu lagi agensi pinjaman Bank Dunia — Bank Rekonstruksi dan Pembangunan Antarabangsa (IBRD) — yang memberi khidmat kepada negara-negara yang berpendapatan pertengahan dengan perlaburan kapital dan perkhidmatan nasihat.
IDA telah ditubuhkan pada 24 September 1960 dan bertanggungjawab untuk memberikan pinjaman jangka panjang tanpa faedah kepada 80 negara termiskin di dunia, 39 daripadanya di Afrika. IDA provides grants and credits (subject to general conditions (pdf)), with repayment periods of 35 to 40 years. Since its inception, IDA credits and grants have totaled $161 billion, averaging $7–$9 billion a year in recent years and directing the largest share, about 50%, to Africa. While the IBRD raises most of its funds on the world's financial markets, IDA is funded largely by contributions from the governments of the richer member countries. Additional funds come from IBRD income and repayment of IDA credits.
