Oxfam International and Ucodep campaign office

Oxfam International has established a Campaign Office in Italy in partnership with Ucodep.
The purpose of the this office is to provide a base for lobbying and advocacy and support local civil society in raising awareness of global poverty and injustice.

Italy is an important actor within the G8 and European Union and its positions on overseas development aid and foreign policy all impact on global poverty. Italy will be President of the G8 in 2009, and we will work with civil society and institutions to ensure that it adopts policies that will help reduce global poverty, including giving more and better aid to help deliver health, education and clean water for all and justice for people living with the impact of climate change.The office is managed by Ucodep, an Italian NGO that since 1976 has worked in Italy and abroad to build a better world through activities aimed at fighting poverty, supporting health and education rights, promoting the values of diversity and solidarity, and assisting people in humanitarian emergencies.
