Unless we keep the scrutiny up, there's nothing to suggest this case will be any different. |
We are really concerned that we're a long, long way away from any kind of breakthrough on tackling poverty in Africa. |
We are really depressed. We are left clawing our way back to commitments made three years ago. When we start defining success as simply standing still, that's a terrible situation to be in. |
We're keeping up the pressure on the Bank, Fund and rich country donors. The story of 2005 was promises from rich countries to increase their aid. The story of 2006 is whether these promises will result in real money to fight poverty and not aid increases based on clever accounting, politics and naked self interest. |
