Bono is speaking to G8 leaders
Bono is speaking out about the poor performance of G8 nations in poverty reduction in Africa. He points out America’s good work on HIV/AIDS and Malaria. Though USAID has some interesting policies regarding abortion they do fully support ABC programs and give out condoms. I must say I also quite like Bill and Melinda Gates foundations work on HIV/AID.
The groups in G8 committed to increasing funding to $US5.4billion since Gleneagles and have only increased it by $US2.3 billion. That is one nice thing about Australia not being big, I know that us failing to meet our targeted 0.7% of GDP has less affect then countries in the G8.
