Mixed Response to G-8 Action on Africa

Listen Wednesday, Jul. 13, 2005 at 1:06 p.m. in Politics, Society

Leaders at last week's G8 summit agreed to double aid to Africa by 2010. Some hail this as a great accomplishment. Others view it as a feel-good plan likely to make little difference in African poverty. Critics explain some of the unresolved issues that impact African poverty -- including agricultural subsidies, climate change, debt reduction, and genocide.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.

Guests

Salih Booker

Executive Director, Africa Action; former Director, Council on Foreign Relations, Africa Studies Program

Steve Radelet

Senior Fellow, Center for Global Development; Adviser to Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf
