	Debt AIDS Trade in Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Debt, AIDS, Trade in Africa (or DATA) is a multinational non-government organization founded in January 2002 in London by U2's Bono along with Bobby Shriver and activists from the Jubilee 2000 Drop the Debt campaign.

		DATA is currently placing most of its resources into supporting the ONE Campaign.

		We've ignored Africa for too long, and I was sad (though not surprised) to see Clinton's overtures towards them given the cold shoulder by Bush.
		He is already dealing w/ AIDS in Africa, but he's not trying to set up a seperate organization - rather, he's looking at the best organizations already working on the problem and attempting to feed them resources (as well as encouraging matching donations, and lending management expertise).
		Regarding whether Africans support such a plan, there is much resemblance here to Mbeki's Millennium Plan for Africa, which went beyond begging/demanding debt relief and instead proposed trading debt relief for governmental and economic reforms in a pro-active manner.
