Delivery and Accountability at the 2008 G8 Summit

The following paper calls on 2008 G8 leaders to deliver on the existing promises they have made in order to achieve universal access by 2010. With only two years until 2010, barely one in four people people have access to the HIV medicines they need to stay alive, and just one in five have access to basic prevention services. These statistics represent failures by G8 governments individually and collectively to not only hold themselves to their commitments, but to agree on mechanisms for monitoring and delivery on what has already been promised. Now is the time for G8 leaders to make good on the commitments they have already made.

These are:

  1. Ensure achieving universal access to AIDS services is on the G8 agenda
  2. Agree and publish firm plans and timetables to deliver existing commitments
  3. Establish a process to track and monitor delivery of these commitments
