We have scored rich country donors against their part of the Dakar promise, that ‘no country seriously committed to Education For All should be thwarted in this ambition for lack of resources.’ 22 OECD-DAC countries are ranked in this way and the picture created by their ratings is not a pretty one. It shows that most are failing to live up to their word, and are continuing their previous pattern of giving miserly amounts of aid, structured to benefit themselves more than the poor and deprived citizens of the developing world.
