MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY

 

CHANGE THE WORLD

MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY wants to see changes in three areas:

 aid, trade and debt

Unless we significantly change billions of people are likely to remain rapped in poverty. 
Here are the three areas explored and what can be done.

 

AID

If rich countries honoured their pledge to give 0.7 per cent of their yearly income in aid, the $120 billion per year generated would be enough to halve world poverty.

MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY

wants
donors top deliver at least $50 billion more in aid

for rich countries to set a binding timetable for spending 0.7 per cent of national income on aid 

and aid to be made to work more effectively for poor people

TRADE

Unjust trade rules are robbing the worlds poorest people of £1.3 billion a day.

MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY

wants
rules to ensure governments can choose the best solutions to end poverty and protect the environment

and an end to export subsidies that damage the livelihoods of the world's poor communities

plus laws that stop big business profiting at the expense of people and the environment

DEBT

Developing countries pay $100 million per day 
servicing debt.

MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY 

wants
the unpayable debts of the world's poorest countries to be cancelled in full, by fair and transparent means.
