London, England: According to a Reuters report; British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is going to meet African Leaders ahead of the London G20 summit in April. Quoting the spokesman of Gordon Brown at least over 20 African Leaders will attend. The meeting should address the concerns of Africa that poorer countries might be left out of the measures to be taken to address the recession. Gordon Brown states; the commitment to the developing world should be kept - a “real stimulus” involves any country in the world.

There is a wide spread fear amongst developing countries, that the willingness of wealthier nations to boost aid might go down. The concern seems to be not unfounded according to an estimate given by Action Aid. In an article from the BBC, Action Aid states the loss of aid and export earnings will be $27bn out of a total of $49bn, which African economies will lose by the end of the year due to the recession.
