Last year, Live 8 helped build one of the largest civil movements in history. Millions lobbied the G8 to make poverty history, and the G8 leaders responded by announcing an ambitious plan to accelerate Africa's economic development and help save millions of lives. One year on, a report by DATA (Debt AIDS Trade Africa) has found that G8 progress on meeting those commitments is painfully slow, proceeding at best at half-pace. The DATA Report, published 29 June 2006, for the first time, will monitor G8 progress annually until the promises made at Gleneagles are kept. It is not only a report card on 2005, but a road map forward to 2007 and beyond to 2010.
