Danish Initiative: Keep Your Promises to the Poor!

The Danish EU-NGO Platform has launched the first Citizen’s Initiative under the Lisbon Treaty: Keep Your Promises to the Poor! The aim is to collect 1 million signatures raising awareness about the fact that European leaders do not deliver on the aid promises they have given. The initiative will be used to make a breakthrough in the global fight against poverty and is supported by AidWatch.
