Given the global significance of the crisis, however, OECD governments have committed to maintaining aid flows despite pressures on their own budgets. This has also been reflecting in IFIs expanding their lending facilities as a response to the crisis. For example, the World Bank has set up specific facilities to address what they identified as the sectors most at risk, with a special focus on infrastructure. For example, the AFD, the French bilateral donor, has been gradually reducing the proportion of grants to the water sector as opposed to loans.
