Jubilee USA's new report “Falling Short: A Progress Report on the G-20’s Commitments to the World’s Poorest” calls on G-20 leaders to speed up progress on existing development commitments and to announce greater steps to address the economic crisis faced by the world’s poorest.
With 100 million people in the developing world set to be pushed into poverty in the poorest countries this year as a result of this crisis, urgent action is needed.
