A new UN report says rich donor nations have failed to deliver on promises to help the world's poorest countries and must increase aid by US$18 billion a year.
The criticism was aimed primarily at the United States, Japan and the European Union.
The report also criticized the failure of rich and poor nations to reach a trade deal that would expand global trade opportunities for developing countries to reduce poverty. It called for redoubled efforts to conclude negotiations.
The report was issued Thursday, ahead of a Sept. 25 meeting of world leaders at UN headquarters to step up efforts to achieve UN goals to help reduce poverty by 2015.
