Do you believe that the targets will be met by the G7, if the targets are met by the G7, what should be the next step, if the targets are not met by the G7 then what?
To what extent should African states and international observers be concerned that means and methods of development assistance from the global north are being focused only on certain countries and regions, while others are being ignored?
Why should we Africans expect Pres. Sarkorzy, Chancellor Merkel and PM Berlusconi to live up to their 2005 promises and Gleneagles commitments while many of our leaders are not living up to their promises to eliminate grand corruption nor are they meeting their commitments to the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM)?
I have read the DATA REPORT for 2007, which suggested that some European countries (Germany, France and Italy) were "dangerously off track" in meeting their promises; surely, even as we recover from an economic crisis, pressure must be put on such countries to honour their commitments. To be off track now after an economic downturn is believable, but to be described as "dangerously off track" back in April of 2007, where quite frankly the economy of Europe couldn't have been much better, is another matter altogether. How can pressure be put on such countries (mainly Italy) and how is it that promises can be met practically?
With increased attention to African issues, and with that, (hopeful) increased funding, where does the accountability lie in terms of allocation and responsibility of funds?
