BBC NEWS | UK | Africa aid pledges to be checked

BBC NEWS | UK | Africa aid pledges to be checked: "Promises of aid to Africa will be checked in a new annual review, the Africa Partnership Forum has agreed.

Members have met in London to discuss how to ensure pledges made for improving the continent are met.

The report will examine what aid has been handed over and give updates on development goals and African governments' promises to make changes.

The forum - involving G8 and African nations - agreed the first edition would be published in October 2006.

Oxfam said this was a 'crucial phase' after the commitments made this year."
