OXFAM Says G8 Countries Face $30 Billion Shortfall in Promised AID

"“It’s been a mixed bag. Some areas have seen some progress. So, debt relief that was committed to in 2005 has actually led to more money going into health services and education in countries like Malawi or Tanzania. But some of the worrying negative trends have been on aid, where we saw all of the G8 commit to providing $50 billion extra resources to invest in health and education round the world by 2010. And we calculated today that actually on the current trend those commitments are $30 billion off. So, we’re going to have a $30 billion shortfall by 2010,” she says."
