Article-Summary: 

The latest report from Jubilee Research (JR) shows how the debt relief granted so far has resulted in large increases in health and education spending in Africa. Entitled "Relief Works" the report also demonstrates that there has been no corresponding increase in arms purchases, showing that the proceeds of debt relief do indeed effectively contribute to increased development.
