CALL FOR CHANGE
	Most of the world's poorest countries are in a debt crisis. They are forced to spend money on debt repayments rather than on basic health and education for their people. Despite their promises, the leaders of the world's richest countries have taken very little action on debt. To date only 20% of the debts of the 42 countries eligable for debt reduction has been cancelled. TAKE ACTION! Send a postcard to Gordon Brown Download a campaign pack

What more can the UK do?
The commitment to cancel 100% of the (bilateral) debts owed directly to the UK is welcome. However, poor countries still owe massive amounts to the multilateral institutions, primarily the IMF and World Bank. Together with other rich nations, the UK has an influential role in these institutions to ensure that they offer deeper and faster debt relief.

The UK can lead by example. It would cost each of us only £3 per year over the next 10 years to cancel our share of this debt. Whilst this is small change for the UK it would make a big difference to the citizens of the world's poorest countries.
