The world's richest countries are betraying promises made to help the poor in Africa according to a new CAFOD report, "Justice Not Charity". Rich countries committed in 2000 to the Millennium Development Goals aimed at reducing poverty by 2015, but they have produced neither the necessary financing nor policies to achieve them. As a result, Africa is way off track in meeting the MDGs by the 2015 target. For example, Africa will according to projections only halve the numbers of people living in absolute poverty by 2147.
