Launched by the UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, in February 2004, the aim of the Commission for Africa is to create an agenda for action to focus on development in Africa and to accelerate progress towards achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. The Commission intends to publish a report in March 2005, with recommendations for the G8 and the European Union on how governments in the developed world can contribute towards a global partnership for Africa's development. In this context, this report by the International Development Committee examines the need for policy coherence in support of development objectives across governments, and makes recommendations focused primarily on the responsibilities of the G8. With the UK government taking on the presidencies of both the EU and the G8 in 2005, the Committee concludes that this year can be a turning point, and the opportunity for change must not be missed. |
