G8
- Will the G8 put poverty first?
- This ActionAid report discusses the opportunities and challenges it sees for the German government to put the G8 at the forefront of the global fight against poverty and environmental destruction during meeting in Essen later this year. The report argues that the G8 finance ministers must commit to a clear financing plan to fund the target of universal access to prevention, treatment and care for HIV and AIDS, which they agreed in 2005. In addition the paper calls for a halt to negotiations on the current Doha global trade deal and work to put sustainable development at the heart of the World Trade Organization.
