As you may have noticed, the Guardian has gone into overdrive covering this forum. Lots of good stuff from the Global Development folks there.
A special mention to Save the Children/World Vision who pulled an interesting/weird stunt at the forum!
"The message of the stunt is that aid plays a vital role in the health of children and mothers, but donors should take steps to improve the quality of aid so more lives can be saved."
