MUSKOKA ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT - Assessing action and results against development-related commitments

Attachments

For over thirty years, leaders of the Group of Eight (G8) have met annually to discuss and take bold, definitive action to address some of the world's most pressing economic, security, environmental and development challenges.

Assessing progress in implementing those commitments is central to keeping the G8 on track and demonstrates its ongoing commitment to transparency and the accountability process. The Muskoka Accountability Report reflects the desire of Leaders to provide a candid assessment on what the G8 has done.

The aims of the Accountability Report are threefold: to report on G8 performance in implementing a number of key development-related commitments; to assess the results of G8 action; and to identify lessons learned for future reporting. It is not an exhaustive review of all G8 commitments; nor is it an assessment of global progress towards meeting international development goals. Nevertheless, it is a major step forward in assessing the extent to which the G8 has lived up to its promises.
