Overview

On Wednesday, Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi is hosting the G8 and other world leaders in l'Aquila, Italy. Although some countries are showing leadership, the G8 as a whole are behind on their promises, and Mr. Berlusconi is easily the worst of the group. He has no credibility to lead this meeting. To date, has delivered only 3% of his 2005 promise to Africa. While other countries are making aid increases in an effort to keep their word, he has cut aid.

With this summit, he has a last chance to earn back some of his credibility. Prime Minister Berlusconi must act decisively in the next three days to turn his miserable failure on development into something we can take seriously. He must restore the aid he cut, pay the money he promised, and budget for a serious plan to get back on track for delivering the commitment he made at the 2005.
