Abstract 1

Introduction 5

How do small states access IDA? The Small Economies Exception (SEE) and vulnerability 7

The SEE now covers nearly a third of countries with access to IDA 7

The SEE functions like a vulnerability criterion for small states' access to IDA 10

Small states use IDA to invest in place-based adaptation. Future investments in people-based adaptation could also be useful 14

Meeting the need for scaled-up adaptation investment: Two options 16

Option one: Allow small states that receive IDA grants the ability to trade some of this grant financing for a larger volume of concessional loans while retaining the SEE 16

Option two: Strengthening consideration of the causes of debt distress when allocating IDA's grant financing 19

New instruments for disaster response 23

Historical tools: Avenues to receive more funding when a crisis occurs are highly valued by small states 23

New tools: More flexibility in using existing financing during crises is yet to be fully rolled out and tested 24

Key administrative reform issues for small states 26

Conclusion 27
