De Fraia: "The G8 must invest 23 billion dollars a year for not lose credibility
"The leaders of the G8 will meet in a few hours in L'Aquila, have a unique opportunity to help stop the spiral hunger that grows inexorably from day to day: invest 23 billion dollars a year in public aid for agriculture on a small scale. This figure is part of the 30 billion a year that the FAO considers the minimum needed to boost agriculture and defeat global hunger. " This appeal Fraia De Luca, Secretary General of ActionAid, on the eve of the summit of G8 heads of state.
At the G8, the international organization has conducted an analysis that quantifies the frequency and the contribution of the G8 countries will have to give annually, by 2012, to keep the commitment made last year against la crisi alimentare globale . Secondo le stime di ActionAid, l’Italia è all’ultimo posto tra i paesi del G8 nella lotta alla fame: attualmente spende 220 milioni mentre dovrebbe arrivare a quota 1, 59 miliardi entro il 2012. Tale target è calcolato in base al peso economico (PIL) dei paesi del G8 e potrà realizzarsi solamente attraverso lo stanziamento del 0,7% del PIL in aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo entro il 2012.
“Lo scorso luglio, nel bel mezzo di una crisi alimentare globale, durante il vertice in Giappone i capi di stato del G8 hanno adottato una dichiarazione di intenti sulla sicurezza alimentare globale. Sono circa 3 i miliardi di dollari erogati finora dai paesi del G8 rispetto ai 10 that is committed to allocating food aid, social protection and agricultural subsidies . During a single year, 100 million more people fell below the poverty line . The summit next week then, is the last chance that G8 to regain credibility in the eyes of international public opinion, tired of listening to promises that are not preserved. "
