With the
Davos,
World Economic Forum opening in Switzerland next week
BBC News Online has produced an
article which considers the progress that has been made since the
G8 nations signed up to an
Action Plan for African Development in support of the
New Partnership for Africa's Development (
NEPAD)...
"
Africa is supposed to be a priority for the leading rich nations. At last year's G8 summit a new Action Plan for Africa was set out, and Africa's problems have featured in G8 discussions for many years.
But what progress has really been made?"
A good and timely question...
See
Jubilee Research for a thorough assessment of
debt issues,
Oxfam for an assessment of related
trade issues and the
Inter-Church Coalition on Africa for a
critique of the NEPAD proposals.
