Italy and France are so far behind on their aid pledges to Africa that they threaten to cause the entire Group of Eight to fail to meet its targets, an advocacy group said Thursday.

In its 2009 DATA report, presented in London, One -- set up by U2 frontman and development activist Bono -- said Italy and France were responsible for 80 percent of the shortfall.
