"Any reduction in assistance to African communities will have devastating consequences for millions of people, people who contributed the least to the woes of Wall Street and London City," said Le Goff.

"The simple truth is that any reduction to aid budgets would be short sighted from both a humanitarian and financial perspective," she said.

"In Africa, communities are facing rapidly rising humanitarian challenges," she added.

"We are also witnessing a re-emergence of previously 'forgotten' diseases such as tuberculosis, the ravaging effects of HIV and AIDS, malaria and cholera remain unacceptably unchecked," added Le Goff.
