On May 27th and 28th the leaders of the top eight economies in the world will meet in Deauville, France for the G8 Summit. The G8 leaders made a promise to the world’s poorest people to halve poverty by 2015 and to put people first. With only four years to go on that commitment, they are dangerously off track.
Oxfam is asking the G8 for an emergency plan to deliver the aid they have promised. They must invest in reducing hunger, and health and education in the poorest countries. They must also take action to stop rich companies avoiding taxes in poor countries.
