Description:

Oxfam America has developed policy options for the Obama administration to advance international development and domestic poverty issues. Oxfam’s nonpartisan message of enabling the poor to exercise their right to manage their own lives is a responsibility we all share. We believe these policy recommendations will help achieve lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and social injustice.
