| Summary/Abstract |
The Make Poverty History campaign, launched in 2005, mobilised citizens to press their governments at key moments throughout the year to take action to eliminate global poverty. Initiated and ?nanced by international development NGOs (INGOs), the campaign appealed to a broad constituency, building unity
around three demands: more and better aid, debt cancellation and trade justice. The call for solidarity and economic justice resonated with millions of people, who added their names to a 'virtual' coalition via internet petitions and public demonstrations around the world.
