The G-8’s Broken Aid Promises
At the G-8 Gleneagles Summit in 2005, member countries pledged to double aid to Africa by 2010. But, while the increase would amount to just one-tenth of 1% of these countries' income, the G-8, following America's lead, has refused to create a clear framework for reaching that goal.

The Millennium Development Goals are the world’s agreed goals to cut poverty, hunger, and disease. Established in 2000, their targets were to be met by 2015. We are now at the halfway point. So far, despite endless words about increasing aid to poor countries, the rich G-8 countries are reneging on their part of the bargain.
