"A few hours separate us from the start of the G8. There is no time to lose, cutting 56% of funds for development cooperation is a bad card for the country to be led by the "big eight" of the earth. The first task for our government must therefore be to fill the hole created earlier this year to remove Italy from the last position among the countries that fight poverty around the world. Secondly, our country must act as guarantor of a financial nature of the ads that will be made by the Summit. " These are the words of Fraia De Luca, Secretary General of ActionAid .
“Ci troviamo oggi di fronte ad una evidente crisi di credibilità del G8 ”, prosegue De Fraia. “Le organizzazioni internazionali denunciano un buco di 28 miliardi nel 2008 rispetto alle promesse del Vertice di Gleneagles nel 2005: mancano 20 miliardi di dollari per l’Africa . Ci auguriamo dunque che la prossima settimana gli "otto grandi" della terra prendano impegni sostanziali e inequivocabili per la lotta alla povertà . In particolare, auspichiamo l’adozione di un sistema di monitoraggio per la trasparenza degli aiuti che valga per tutti i Paesi del G8, e che serva a controllare e tracciare non solo il volume delle spese ma anche il modo in cui queste vengono carried out. "
"Currently, at international level, are not always the same rules used to measure the contribution to the eradication of poverty are often recorded along with support, other resources such as remittances, or investment in the private sector. That could disable any system that aims to track the use of resources made available to the genuine struggle against poverty. We hope, "said De Fraia," that Italy is the guarantor of the fact that any announcement by the Summit matched facts: poverty in the world is growing again and not being fought with words. "
