This White Paper on Eliminating World Poverty sets out how the United Kingdom will work with others to deliver the promises they made in 2005. Backed by enormous public support from the Make Poverty History coalition and the Live8 concerts, the Gleneagles G8 Summit in July 2005 agreed a comprehensive, detailed plan to fight poverty. This included plans to support an African Peacekeeping Force, provide universal access to AIDS treatment, and promote investment and infrastructure to create jobs for poor people.
