Urgent recommendations on debt cancellation for a strong and prosperous Africa - 2005 Report of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Highly Indebted Poor Countries
The All Party Group, under its previous incarnation as the APPG on Heavily Indebted Poor Countries, produced this major report in 2005 in advance of the G8 Gleneagles Summit. It was submitted to the Commission for Africa and subsequently had a wide range of policy recommendations adopted.
Amongst those consulted during the debt hearings in 2004/05 were Rt. Hon Gordon Brown MP; Rt. Hon Hilary Benn MP, Mr Donald Kaberuka, (Rwandan Finance Minister) and Professor Jeffrey Sachs, author of the UN Millennium Project Report. The group was also pleased to consult with Christian Adovelande (President, ECOWAS Bank for Investment & Development), Mr Bill Meara, Economic Officer at the US Embassy and policy analysts ranging from Sony Kapoor to Noreena Hertz.
A number of written submissions were put to the group from the Kenyan High Commission; the Nigerian High Commission; African Economic Outlook (AEO) and Economic Development in Africa. It also drew on a number of specialist papers submitted by leading NGOs such as the Jubilee Debt Campaign, Oxfam, World Development Movement, Cafod and ActionAid.
