This paper provides background information on the financing commitments made at the Gleneagles G-8 Summit. It then looks at the extent to which G8 members have been meeting their commitments to increase aid and provide debt relief. The UK’s progress in achieving its own is also examined. The paper also includes a brief assessment of the aid activities of non-G-8 countries and concludes with a look ahead to the G-8 Summit in Germany in June 2007.
