In fact, total official development assistance to all recipient countries, net of debt cancellation, actually declined by 2% between 2005 and 2006. Even the World Bank, which usually takes the donors’ point of view, recently acknowledged that except for debt cancellation, “promises of scaled up aid have not been delivered.”
具体而言，在2005年到2006年期间，除去债务免除，向非洲提供的总体援助仅仅增加了2%。实际上，除去债务免除，向所有受援国提供的正式发展援助净额在2005年到2006年期间减少了2%。世界银行通常采纳援助国家的观点，但是它最近也承认说除了债务免除以外，“增加援助的诺言并未实现。”
