### Chart II-2. G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit Chair's Summary (Development and Africa - Main Points)

### 1. Development

(1) We renew our commitment to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), as this year marks the mid-point of the target period. We reinvigorate our efforts, and at the same time encourage the developing countries to put forth their best efforts.

(2) We are committed to working to fulfill our Official Development Assistance (ODA) commitments made at Gleneagles (see Note)

Note: The following commitments were made at Gleneagles:

(a) Increase ODA to Africa from the G8 and other donors by US$25 billion a year by 2010.

(b) According to OECD estimates, total ODA from the G8 and other donors to developing countries is expected to increase by around US$50 billion a year by 2010 compared to 2004.

(3) We mentioned the need to increase ODA for Africa after 2011 beyond the current commitment.

(4) We promote private sector-led economic growth, improved human security, international cooperation involving participation by all key players and stakeholders and strengthening cooperation between new aid partners.

(5) We particularly focus on health, water and education among MDGs.

### 2. Health

(1) We welcome the G8 health experts report, submitted with tables on the implementation status of past G8 commitments. We set forth the 'Toyako Framework for Action,' which includes the principles for action in the health field. The Framework for Action also includes mechanisms to monitor the G8's commitments.

(2) We agreed to strengthen health systems including fighting infectious diseases, improving maternal, newborn and child health and training health workers. In particular, we continue efforts to work towards the goals of providing US$60 billion over 5 years to support healthcare as agreed upon at the G8 Heilligendamm Summit. Some countries will provide additional resources for health systems, including water.

(3) We agreed to work to increase health workforce coverage towards the World Health Organization (WHO) threshold of 2.3 health workers per 1,000 people.

(4) We reconfirm our commitment to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and polio. The G8 agreed to achieve the goal of providing 100 million mosquito nets in partnership with other stakeholders to fight malaria by the end of 2010, and to support the control or elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

### 3. Water

(1) Good water cycle management is crucial to address the water issue.

(2) We revitalize our efforts to implement the Water Action Plan agreed upon at the G8 Evian Summit, and will review the Plan by the next G8 Summit based on a progress report prepared by G8 water experts.

(3) We focus on resolving water issues in Africa and Asia Pacific region.

### 4. Education

(1) We strive for universal primary education, and stated the need for striking a good balance between primary and post-primary education.

(2) We continue efforts, with other donors, to address the shortfall of funds for the Fast Track Initiative (FTI) estimated to be US$1 billion in countries where it has been endorsed. The G8's progress to support FTI will be monitored through a report to be submitted at the G8 Summit in 2009.

### 5. Africa

(1) We welcome the important contribution of the Fourth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD IV). We will reflect views of African countries in our future cooperation.

(2) We discussed important practical measures to support Africa, including improvement of business environment, development of infrastructure, support for agriculture, spending on Aid for Trade, support for good governance, and promotion of peace and security in Africa.

(3) We endorse the progress report on our cooperative efforts for African development submitted by the Africa Personal Representatives (APRs). We encourage them to discuss the possible evolution of the Africa Partnership Forum (APF).
