PARTNERSHIP WITH AFRICAN PROGRESS PANEL
The quality of governance in African countries is also a key ingredient for progress in eradicating poverty. In preparing this year's DATA Report, ONE worked closely with Kofi Annan's Africa Progress Panel (APP), which tracks the efforts by African governments. The APP report launched in Cape Town on June 10 and can be seen at www.africaprogresspanel.org.

FOREWORD BY BOB GELDOF AND KOFI ANNAN
Almost ten years ago, African leaders and their partners in the international community entered a pact for improving the lives of hundreds of millions of people. As part of their campaign to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, they made commitments to each other and to their citizens that they would work to beat extreme poverty and promote good governance; while Western leaders responded to the demands of their citizens that aid budgets should be increased and spent wisely and effectively in support of Africa's campaign against poverty.
