Over 116 Million People Stand Up Against Poverty
The United Nations Millennium Campaign and Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) have announced that a Guinness World Record breaking 116.9 million people - nearly two percent of world population - took a stand against poverty at events in 131 countries on 17-19 October 2008. Over 50,000 people in the UK took part in more than 300 solidarity events, organised by grassroots groups, churches, schools, universities and development NGOs.
Working Together in Challenging Times
The Annual Conference and AGM, held on 4 November, was our most successful event yet with 213 delegates attending. The wide-range of member organisations represented and an excellent speech from Minouche Shafik, DFID Permanent Secretary, ensured that there was plenty of lively networking and debate on the key challenges facing the international development sector.
