    The spokesperson from Oxfam International said that the volcanic eruption is another blow to African economies still struggling with food, fuel, climate and economic crises. She criticized the World Bank for not implementing meaningful reforms despite talking about a new world order with equal representation. She welcomed the Global Food Fund announcement but said donors must ensure it supports rather than competes with UN efforts to address the 10 million people at risk of famine in West Africa.

    OXFAM REACTION ROBERT ZOELLICK PRESS CONFERENCE

    Oxfam International spokesperson Caroline Pearce said:

    ON THE VOLCANO
    “The volcano’s impact on African economies is one more blow to a continent still
    reeling from the food, fuel, climate and economic crises. This is yet another reason
    why the rich world needs to deliver on its aid promises”

    WORLD BANK REFORM


    “The Bank is talking about a new world order where poor countries are equal to the
    rich ones, but it can’t even get a decent reform package agreed at its own board.”

    GLOBAL FOOD FUND


    “There are 10 million people at risk of famine in West Africa right now. Poor country
    governments desperately need more money to support their small farmers.”

    “Today’s announcement is welcome, but donors to the Fund now need to make sure
    it complements rather than competes with the UN’s efforts to respond to the food
    crisis.”
