Short but informative report on fears that rich countries may cut back on financial development aid as a result of the economic crisis. This article starts by quoting remarks by European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso at a UN conference on financial aid in Doha, Qata. It then provides factual information and helpful context on how rich countries have delivered less than half of their $50 billion pledge to halve poverty by 2015. Important information about a critical topic.
