| The 2005 G8 Summit took place against a background of tragedy. The attacks in London yesterday focused all of our attentions on the terrible waste that each and every life lost always represents. Our thoughts are with the friends and family of those killed and those who were injured. At a time when terrorists have shown such disregard for our shared humanity, Make Poverty History is a living embodiment of it. Never before have so many people stood in solidarity with the poor. While there is a great deal more G8 leaders should have done in Gleneagles, today they responded to our campaign for justice by making significant commitments to increase aid, cancelling some of the debts of some of the world's poorest countries, and saying they will apply fewer conditions to them. They also agreed to strive for access to AIDS treatment for all by 2010. These commitments will give hope and life to millions of the world's poorest people, and they're down to you. Are you wearing a white band? Remembering all the emails you've sent? Did you rally along with quarter of a million people in Edinburgh last weekend? Then you helped deliver the pressure that made 2005 the year the world accelerated on the road towards justice. Today's announcement marks a turning point in the human story, but it falls far short of the plan that would truly make poverty history. To do that, and secure a place in history, world leaders must go a lot further at 2 crucial talks later in the year - the UN Millennium Development Goals summit and World Trade Organisation talks - and we need your continued help to make sure they act. Millions of people are trapped in the prison of poverty. Today the G8 chose not to do all that we have asked them that could set those people free. The people of the world are already on the road to justice. They expect their leaders to be with them. Today's announcement has shown that the G8 need to run much faster to catch up. The Make Poverty History Team P.S. This year the UK government have responded to campaigners by placing Africa on the agenda as a priority for the G8. They have worked hard with European Union and G8 colleagues to deliver significant steps toward debt cancellation and more and better aid. Throughout this summit the government have demonstrated leadership on these vital issues. We must keep up the pressure on them to ensure they show the same commitment for the rest of this crucial year and beyond. |

| Hello, The G8 made a commitment to access to AIDS treatment for all who need it by 2010. Now help us ensure they keep this promise. At the Gleneagles G8 summit, politicians responded courageously to the scale of the AIDS emergency. The treatment target was one of the defining successes of the summit but it needs your voice to turn it from an historic pledge into a revolutionary reality. AIDS has devastated developing countries, already struggling with unjust trade, crippling debt, and ineffective and insufficient aid. Millions of the world's poor are dying from AIDS because they lack access to care and treatment. Please email your MP today. Tell them to contact Tony Blair and ask him to do everything he can to ensure three things: 1. That donors meeting in London next month announce full funding for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. 2. That rich countries pay their share of funding for universal treatment which will cost over $12 billion in the next 3 years to reach just 75% coverage 3. That Ministers meeting in Hong Kong for world trade talks in December ensure countries can produce or import cheaper versions of AIDS medicines. Without adequate financing and fair trade in medicines, this bold and visionary target could become another of the broken promises that litter the history of the pandemic. Please don't let that happen - Please email your MP today. Thank you - your voice will save lives.

| Hello, You have already played a huge part in calling on world leaders to make poverty history whether by wearing your white band, going to Edinburgh or emailing Tony Blair. The G8 made significant commitments on debt and aid last month but fell well short of what they should have achieved, especially on trade. So there is still much work to be done. At major meetings in the rest of this year, world leaders must act to make poverty history. The progress that has been made so far wouldn't have happened without you raising your voice. Now we need to be even louder. There are a number of key events still to come starting with the UN meeting in September and culminating in December at the meeting of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Hong Kong. At this meeting leaders from all over the world could end damaging trade policies and lift millions of people out of poverty. Add your vote! The Vote for Trade Justice is a call to the UK government to stop the inequality that is currently present in the world trade system. Join 500, 000 people and vote NOW to make it a million. click here to vote for Trade Justice Tell Alan Johnson he must act! Alan Johnson is Britain's Minister for Trade & Industry. He will represent this country as Europe's position is decided in the build up to the WTO meeting - therefore it is vital he knows you care about his choices http://www.processrequest.com/apps/redir. asp?link=XcbdihhdDB, ZdebbijijcEF&oid=UdegbBE&iclitemid=Ycdghf hdcDF&tid=WiacaddBG Everyone has the right to feed their family and make a decent living. But the rich and powerful are pursuing trade policies that put profits before the needs of people and the planet. With his fellow trade ministers around Europe, Alan Johnson has the opportunity to make a real difference this year. We have to let him know that we want urgent action to make trade part of the solution not part of the problem. We won't make poverty history without Trade Justice. Make sure our politicians get that message! Thank you, The Make Poverty History team. _______________________ "Ако народът не вярва на управниците си, те не могат да останат на власт." Конфуций |
| Hello, So far in this crucial year in the fight against poverty, significant steps have been taken on aid, debt and trade - and your actions have helped make this happen. The British government and the G8 have said that poor countries should be able to decide their own economic policies. But they continue to apply damaging economic conditions by funding World Bank and International Monetary Fund IMF programmes, which take away poor countries' right to choose their own paths to development. Ahead of September's meetings of the World Bank and IMF we need your help to ensure that the UK government & the rest of the world do more. Harmful conditions currently undermine the benefits of debt relief and aid. Of course funds must be used to relieve poverty, and must be properly accounted for. But the strings currently attached are very different. In return for aid and debt relief, many poor countries are made to open up their markets, cut vital public spending, and privatise basic services. Please take two minutes to send an email to Gordon Brown and Hilary Benn to say that while more aid and debt relief are welcome, the strings attached to them are not. Thank you, The Make Poverty History team _______________________ "Ако народът не вярва на управниците си, те не могат да останат на власт." Конфуций |
| Hello, Summer may be coming to an end but the campaign to make poverty history certainly is not. Less than a week from now, hundreds of world leaders will meet in New York for the UN World Summit. It's a chance for them to build on the progress already made in 2005 and go much further in the fight against poverty. Take these simple actions now: 1. Email Tony Blair Urge the Prime Minister to do all he can to put pressure on other countries at the summit and stop world leaders failing the world's poorest people. Click here to email Tony Blair 2. Don't bin the band! This Saturday is the second White Band Day. Join millions of people across the world in wearing your white band and encourage all your friends to wear one too. Click here to get a white band 3. Picture an end to poverty. Send us your white band picture – we'll use it to show world leaders that we are always watching them! Click here to upload your photo Some of the world's most powerful governments are trying to back down on the promises they have made to poor countries. Even the steps agreed at the G8 Summit in Gleneagles look at risk of collapse. This would be a disaster for the world's poorest people. Tony Blair has a vital part to play. As holder of the European Union presidency, he will be a powerful player in New York. Now is the time to remind Tony Blair that we are watching and we expect him to do all he can to ensure the summit delivers a real breakthrough. If he fails, one of the most precious opportunities in years will be lost. Please act now and help bring an end to the extreme poverty that means a child dies every 3 seconds. Thank you, The Make Poverty History team |
| Poverty can never be truly beaten without Trade Justice. Since Make Poverty History began real steps have been taken to cancel Debt and increase Aid. Though we have further to go, you should be proud of the vital part you have played. But on Trade, a critical piece of the jigsaw, there has been little movement. The rules that govern world trade are currently biased towards Rich countries and their corporations. The chance to change that, the chance to make trade work for the world's poorest people, is approaching fast. In December the World Trade Organisation will meet in Hong Kong - around that table will sit the politicians with the power to change the world's trade rules and deliver trade justice. We need your help. On Wednesday 2nd November you can join thousands of others for a Mass Lobby of Parliament ahead of the crucial WTO meeting. The gathering will give you the chance to let your MP know that you expect the UK Government to support the call to deliver trade justice - not free trade. Click here to tell us you are coming to Lobby your MP. Millions of people remain in the lethal trade trap. No matter how hard they work, they earn less every year. Currently, world trade rules rob poor countries of £ 1.3 billion a day - 14 times what they get in aid. Be part of the solution... Join the Mass Lobby in Westminster on 2nd November. Thank you, The Make Poverty History team |
| Poverty Is Falling In Eastern Europe And The Former Soviet Union, But Challenges Remain World Bank report analyzes impact of economic growth during 1998-2003 WASHINGTON DC, October 12, 2005 --- Some 40 million people were moved out of poverty in Central and Southeastern Europe and the countries of the former Soviet Union during 1998-2003 as a result of rapid growth and narrowing inequality, says a World Bank report released today. According to the report*, the number of people living in poverty in the Region in 2003 was 61 million, or 12 percent of the population. This compares with 20 percent living in poverty in 1998. Household consumption surveys are used to build a comparable indicator of living standards across the 27 countries covered in the report. An absolute poverty line of $2 a day is used for most countries, given the cost of heating and warm clothing required for the cold climate. An additional 153 million people living in the Region on $4-a-day or less are considered economically vulnerable rather than poor. "The report shows how countries already stressed by transition managed to pull millions of people out of poverty in the wake of the 1998 financial crisis in Russia. This turn-around highlights the importance of growth in creating conditions for a better life. To sustain this, more jobs are needed to help those left behind, especially in rural areas and some of the region's many secondary cities," said Shigeo Katsu, World Bank Vice President for Europe and Central Asia (ECA). The report recommends pursuing enterprise reforms, boosting rural growth, and promoting opportunity in lagging regions. Other reform priorities they identify include improving the delivery of basic services, and ensuring better, more targeted social protection, particularly for the working poor and children. According to the report, the resurgence in growth during 1998-2003 was driven largely by the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. Russia's role is pivotal, given its oil wealth and importance in regional trade and migration flows. At the same time, European Union (EU) integration has helped to broaden markets and lock in reforms for acceding countries. The end of the war in the Western Balkans made the economic environment more conducive for investment and growth. From 1998 to 2003, poverty fell in most countries of the Region. The highest levels of absolute poverty are in poor countries of Central Asia, like Tajikistan with a 70 percent poverty rate, and the South Caucasus, where Georgia, for example, had a poverty rate of 50 percent in 2003. Yet most of the poor and vulnerable in the transition countries of the Region are in large middle-income countries such as Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine. Those most at risk are the young, residents in rural areas and in secondary cities. The unemployed, people with little education, and those belonging to underprivileged minorities, such as the Roma are also at great risk. Most of the poor are working poor. Poverty's response to growth: The report finds that several fast-growing countries -- for example, Russia and Kazakhstan -- witnessed shifts in the distribution of income toward the poor. As a result, poverty has declined more rapidly than was expected. In contrast, in Georgia and Poland, the distribution did not move towards the poor, and poverty actually rose. The most rapid fall in poverty has been in capital cities. Jobless growth: Very few countries, even those that progressed furthest in reducing poverty, managed to create enough jobs. This failure to generate jobs means falling employment, except in a few fast-growing countries like Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. In the new EU member states and in the countries of Southeastern Europe, the employment ratio, which now stands at 56 percent, is well below the so-called Lisbon target of 70 percent set by the European Union. Inequality: The report finds that inequality as measured by household consumption of goods and services declined overall in the CIS. The pattern was less clear in Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltic countries, and Southeastern Europe. By 2003, consumption inequality in the Region was comparable to that in relatively egalitarian regions such as East Asia or even some of the world's rich countries. However, large regional inequalities exist, both between and within countries. Affordable access to quality services: Trends in access to education, health care, safe water, sanitation, and heating are less inspiring, according to the report. Inequalities persist in access to good schooling, health care, reliable water and electricity. In some cases they have increased, particularly in the CIS. In Tajikistan, for example, the reliability of water has declined for all but the top fifth of the population. The role of public policy and future prospects: The report warns that if the trend of jobless growth persists, fewer people will be pulled out of poverty. If growing inequalities in the quality of basic services are not reversed, they will weaken the beneficial effects of growth. To speed growth and ensure it works in favor of the poor, the authors call for: --Further reform of the enterprise sector to encourage the release of resources from old, less productive firms to new, more productive firms; --Policies to promote agriculture and rural growth by integrating rural areas into the rest of the economy with regard to labor and capital markets, access to credit, trade and services; --Efforts to generate greater opportunity in lagging regions; --Improving quality of basic services and preserving their affordability to the poor; and --Further improvements to the social safety net. "At current growth levels, we predict that by 2007 around 40 million people will still be poor and roughly 110 million will be economically vulnerable. Given this and the threat to the achievement of human development goals, it is essential that governments work to accelerate growth and ensure that everyone shares in it," concludes Asad Alam, Team Leader of the report and Sector Manager in the World Bank's Gender, Poverty and Macroeconomics Unit in ECA. *Growth, Poverty, and Inequality in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union, World Bank 2005.

| Hello Under pressure from MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY campaigners like you, the UK Government has put Africa on the agenda at the G8, at the UN and elsewhere. But there is another key opportunity that we cannot afford to miss. This year the UK has the Presidency of the European Union and we need your help to make sure European Community (EC) aid reaches the people who need it. Please email Jack Straw now to say that EC aid should be focussed on the poorest countries, and especially on sub-Saharan Africa. As Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw is responsible for UK negotiations with other European countries. Tony Blair told MEPs in Brussels that ‘we are leaders in development and proud of it’. But at present less than half of EC aid goes to the poorest countries. There are no sub-Saharan African countries included in the top ten recipients of EC aid. This has got to change. The main focus of the European aid programme must be on ending poverty in the poorest countries. Please take two minutes to send an email to Jack Straw, asking him to push for more and better EC aid to the poorest countries in Africa. Thank you, The Make Poverty History team _______________________ А некой кара кооолееелооо |
| ACT NOW FOR TRADE JUSTICE: EMAIL MANDELSON We have a HUGE opportunity coming up. In only three weeks, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is meeting in Hong Kong for trade talks. This is the key moment this year when unfair trade rules could be changed so that people living in extreme poverty have a chance to build themselves a future. The trade talks are not going well. In fact they are going very badly for poor countries. You can help them by emailing former British MP, Peter Mandelson, who is now the European Trade Commissioner. If the European Union & the USA don't change their current negotiating position there won't be a trade deal that will help make poverty history. We can't let Europe block trade justice without one last big push. So all over the world this week, people are contacting their trade representatives. Peter Mandelson needs to know that we want him to act in the interests of poor people - not at their expense. You can tell him this in 30 seconds by sending an email. Please DO IT . JUST CLICK HERE NOW. Thank you, The Make Poverty History team _______________________ Ще изпълнявам само ясен и прозрачен обществен договор, опитващите да ми наложат друго, ДГД |
