Paul Vallely Order of St Michael and St George is a leading British writer on Africa and development issues. He first coined, in his seminal 1990 book
Bad Samaritans: First World Ethics and Third World Debt, the expression that campaigners needed to move "from charity to justice" – a slogan that was taken up by Jubilee 2000 and Live 8.
Vallely was the
The Times correspondent in Ethiopia during the
1984 - 1985 famine in Ethiopia. He was commended as International Reporter of the Year for his reports which Geldof described as "vivid, intelligent, moving and brave". Vallely was the only British correspondent to leave the easy air routes to the feeding camps and strike off across country to find out what was really going on. He uncovered a number of things the Marxist government were trying to keep hidden, was pronounced “an enemy of the revolution”, arrested by the secret police and was expelled from the country. He subsequently reported from across Africa, and elsewhere, covering wars and events in 30 different countries across the globe.
In 2004/5 he was co-author of the report of the
Commission for Africa set up by the British prime minister, Tony Blair, of which
Bob Geldof was a member. Vallely ghost-wrote Geldof's autobiography,
Is That It? and travelled with Bob Geldof across Africa to decide how to spend the £100m raised by
Live Aid and was involved in the organisation of Live 8.
Bob Geldof paid tribute to his influence in a lecture to the Bar Human Rights Committee Lecture, St. Paul’s Cathedral in which he said: "In his book
Bad Samaritans of 1990 Paul Vallely wrote correctly: 'For all his skill as a populist Bob Geldof could not shift the agenda from one of charity to one of justice.” Well maybe after 20 years we’ve finally got there." The founders of Jubilee 2000, Martin Dent and Bill Peters, have also acknowledged being inspired by Vallely's book.
Vallely has chaired or been active in a number of prominent UK aid agencies, including Traidcraft,
the Catholic Institute for International Relations (CIIR),
Christian Aid and
CAFOD.
He is associate editor of the UK newspaper
The Independent where he writes about ethical, cultural and political issues. (He was once referred to by Peter Wilby in
New Statesman as "the
Independent's resident saint"). He is also a columnist for
The Church Times and
Third Way Magazine.
Vallely was created a Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) "for services to journalism and to the developing world" on
17 June 2006.
