G8 Summit in July 2005
The Commission for Africa was launched by Prime Minister Tony Blair in February 2004.

"..The Prime Minister and the other members of the Commission formally began their work at the first meeting of the Commission on 4 May 2004.
The Commission will meet on several occasions before publishing its report and recommendations in spring 2005. There may be a final meeting of the Commission at the end of 2005, in order to help ensure effective follow-up. Outside the full Commission meetings, the Commissioners will be active in a range of international forums and events to present their work and engage a wide range of Africans and others who are able to help the Commission take an independent look at the challenges facing Africa, and achieve its goal to generate action for a strong and prosperous Africa.There are 17 members of the Commission. All are working in an independent capacity.
Most of the Commissioners are from Africa. All of the Commissioners are active and influential in the differing spheres of work and expertise. Their personal impact on the work of the Commission and their role in the follow up to the Commission's recommendations is central to the Commission's work.

The timing of the Commission's work is intended to seize 2005 as an opportunity to make a difference for Africa. 2005 will see the coincidence of the United Kingdom's chairmanship of both the G8 and, in the second half of the year, the European Union, with Africa high on both agenda. 2005 offers a further opportunity around the United Nation's review of implementation of the UN Millennium Development Goals, with the knowledge that the goals will not be met in Africa by the 2015 deadline unless there are new ideas and action.The Commission's work will take a fresh look at Africa's past and present, and the international community's role, in order to agree clear recommendations for the future.
The work is intended to be comprehensive and challenging, addressing difficult questions where necessary.The Commission's work will not however duplicate or replace existing international processes, It will seek to support and encourage the best of existing work, in particular the African leadership shown through the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) and the African Union. It will also seek to generate increased support for the full implementation of the G8 Africa Action Plan.The Commission is supported in its work by a Secretariat based in London.The starting point for the structure of the Commission's work, agreed at the first meeting of the Commission, was a division of the work into six principal thematic areas. These are the economy, natural resources, governance, peace & security, human development and culture and participation. The structure of the Commission's work is deliberately flexible, so that Commissioners are able to contribute to work in all areas, drawing attention to the linkages between issues. The way that the Commission's work develops will be reflected in documents published on the Commission website in the form of 'work in progress', designed to ensure that the work is fully transparent. Those contributing to the Commission's work are encouraged to consult the website for updated information."
