Commitments and Actions
  • ALLEVIATING WORLD POVERTY


    What: It is nearly five years since the G8 meeting in Gleneagles and the demonstration of millions of people from media stars, church leaders and members of the public to make poverty history.

     

    Action to date: Five years on the figures are in. On debt relief, progress has been immense with 45 billion dollars delivered to the world poorest countries to assist with resources for health and education. The United Kingdom has delivered on its G8 promises of 2005.

    What’s missing: Every minute a woman dies in childbirth somewhere in the world because of inadequate medical care and 72 million children remain out of school. It is important to put pressure on the other seven G8 countries to rise up to their promises. The missing 21 billion dollars could pay for every child to go to school and could save the lives of 2 million of the poorest mothers and children.
