Our approach to “righting” this wrong involves four broad categories of work. The first three—saving lives, developing programs to help people overcome poverty, and campaigning for social justice—are our primary tools. We draw on these different approaches as individual situations demand to address the root causes of poverty and injustice. The fourth part of our work involves changing how people think about poverty. As anyone who has ever grown a garden knows, if you want a plant to flourish, it’s not enough to sow a seed; you have to enrich the soil. It works the same way with ideas. To overcome poverty, we need to educate people to think differently about poverty and its causes.

At every juncture there is a These facts led us to deepen our institutional commitment “development project” ready to be implemented: Let’s teach to get at the root causes of poverty.

Following poor rains in 2010 and early 2011, we knew a crisis in East Africa was on the horizon. What we couldn’t predict was the scale of suffering: a food crisis that affected 13 million people. Within months, the warning sounded again—this time in West Africa. As we go to print, millions in the western Sahel are struggling to get enough to eat. In 2011-12, hunger became perhaps the gravest concern of our humanitarian team. As we helped families access food, Oxfam also focused on the lives of people affected sudan by flooding in El Salvador, Senegal, and Pakistan; the earthquake and cholera outbreaks in Haiti; and conflict that continues to disrupt the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Sudan.

8 East Africa: food crisis 2011–12 humanitarian investment in food crisis: $2.4 million Despite Oxfam’s early action, it wasn’t until the UN declared famine in two areas of Somalia that the severity of the 2011 drought and food crisis across East Africa fully registered with the public and international community, galvanizing support for a scaled-up response. By then, 13 million people were struggling. Following the largest public appeal in our history, Oxfam and our partners were able to help 2.8 million people in Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. By providing clean water and hygiene education, organizing cash-for-work initiatives, and distributing food to some of the neediest people, Oxfam and its partners unquestionably saved lives. But the lesson from this crisis, and others before and after, is that the world needs a new approach to breaking the cycle of food insecurity—an approach built on political will and sustained investment. West Africa: Hunger a daily reality 2011–12 investment in local humanitarian capacity: $51,300 As Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia worked to recover from a drought and food crisis in 2011, similar challenges began to grip West Africa, where a poor harvest and rising food prices have made hunger a daily reality. By March 2012, an estimated 13 million people in Chad, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Senegal, and Gambia were facing food insecurity as Oxfam quickly put programs in place to meet the most urgent needs. This effort launched as our fiscal year was ending; moving forward our focus will be on improving access to water and east africa food, and building resilience to future crises. Sudan: Conflict and displacement 2011–12 investment in humanitarian relief in Sudan: $3.5 million In 2011, when fighting erupted in two border states in Sudan, one of Oxfam’s partner organizations was quickly able to reach 30,000 people with relief supplies—the start of an assistance program that is still unfolding. Meanwhile, Oxfam continued its work in Darfur, providing water, sanitation facilities, public health initiatives, fuel-efficient stoves, and assistance in starting small businesses to people living in and around the camps for displaced people. By March 31, 2012, Oxfam had reached more than 400,000 people with aid in Sudan.

Accessing these rights is essential because it unlocks the potential to change the conditions that trap people in poverty. In 2011-12, our biggest areas of investment were in Saving for Change ($5.5 million), programs to strengthen communities affected by gas, oil, and mining ($3.5 million), agriculture and water management ($2.5 million), work to support the rights of indigenous people in South America ($2.0 million), vietnam and our decent work efforts in the US ($1.6 million).

12 Vietnam: reforming agriculture 2011–12 investment in farmer-led innovation: $391,700 Oxfam’s work to support rice farmers in Vietnam reached a milestone in 2011: more than one million growers are using the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) on nearly 500,000 acres. Oxfam has been supporting farmer training with the nation’s ministry of agriculture to promote SRI since 2006, as it helps the poorest farmers on the smallest farms to grow more rice (sometimes twice as much) using less seed, less water, and fewer expensive inputs like fertilizer and pesticides. Recognizing Oxfam’s role in promoting innovation, in 2012 the Vietnamese government requested that Oxfam’s associ- ate country director Le Minh make formal recommendations for restructuring Vietnam’s agricultural sector.

Ethiopia: agricultural extension 2011–12 investment in agricultural extension: $1.5 million For farmers and herders struggling to make a living in Ethiopia, help is on the horizon. Oxfam, together with the Ethiopian ministry of agriculture and the Sasakawa Africa Association, has launched a four-year initiative to inject new life into the country’s agricultural extension system—the network of training centers and extension agents charged with helping to improve crop and livestock productivity. A kickoff work- shop, held in December 2010, drew more than 100 high-level participants from all regions of Ethiopia. Among the goals of ethiopia the project are to improve farmers’ productivity and income by strengthening 215 pilot training centers and improving the knowledge and skills of 645 extension agents. senegal US: RESTORE the Gulf Coast 2011–12 investment in Gulf Coast equity: $1.7 million Two and a half years ago, the worst environmental disaster in American history—the BP oil spill—left coastal communi- ties in Louisiana and Mississippi staggering.

Oxfam and its local partners have been advocating for communities struggling to get back to work, and the Restore the Gulf Coast States Act has been a key part of their focus in 2011. Signed into law in July 2012, the measure could send as much as $20 billion in civil fines to the Gulf Coast.

A survey of the majority of groups established by Oxfam’s partners in Mali indicate that 95 percent continue to run themselves.

We successfully defended US foreign aid from Congressional cuts that would have been catastrophic for key programs, and we helped ensure BP oil spill fines would go to Gulf Coast communities. We spurred public opposition to the ineffi- ciencies built into the delivery of food aid, and persuaded the US Senate to support reform to the farm bill. We worked to speed aid delivery during the East Africa food crisis. We sued the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in federal court to compel release of oil transparency rules to help enforce our Right to Know, Right to Decide cam- paign victory in the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act. We collaborated with 124 civil society organizations in Ghana working to ensure that oil revenues be used re- sponsibly. Finally, in Cambodia, Oxfam’s partners and allies successfully pressured the government to reform a law that would potentially restrict work on development and human rights.

Africa: The power of advocacy 2011–12 global investment in humanitarian policy: $1.7 million When the food crisis hit East Africa in 2011, it became clear that US law prohibiting aid delivery to parts of Somalia con- trolled by an armed opposition group would mean terrible suffering for local people. Oxfam led a successful push with other organizations to loosen those restrictions—aided in part by our reputation as an independent voice because we accept no US government funds. In the process, Oxfam became known as a go-to group in Washington for informa- tion and policy advice and was asked to testify before the House Subcommittee on Africa. It was in part because of direct and early contact with Oxfam staffers that the US State Department’s Bureau for Population, Refugees, and Migration began to focus critical attention on the complexi- ties of the Somali refugee situation in Kenya, where the Dadaab refugee camp had become the largest in the world.

US: wise foreign aid funding 2011–12 investment in aid effectiveness: $2.7 million In November 2011, when Congress threatened cuts to poverty- fighting assistance, Oxfam employed a broad strategy to defend it. Given that less than 1 percent of the US budget is dedicated to foreign aid, we worked to show just how much 1 percent can get. Our strategy? Showcase the people on the ground who—with US aid dollars—are successfully fight- ing poverty. We ran print ads and billboards in Washington’s Reagan National Airport, which highlighted “aid heroes”: figures like Haitian farmer Jacqueline Morette and Malian business owner Fatou Doumbia who are using aid to accomplish amazing feats. Although Oxfam does not accept US federal funds, we worked behind the scenes to galvanize supporters, allies, veterans, and high-level Oxfam ambassadors to urge Congress to protect US investments in effective development. In the end, our efforts to highlight the people at the center of the foreign aid story prevented cuts to international health initiatives, emergency aid, and vital economic development programs.

Cambodia: fighting repression 2011–12 investment in policy & advocacy in Cambodia: $123,600 In December 2011, the Cambodian government agreed to defer a new law—legislation that threatened to restrict development and human rights work. The delay gives Cambodian organi- zations more time to help develop legislation that will allow them to carry out their work without repression. This deferral was thanks to the strong efforts of Cambodian civil society, including many of Oxfam’s local partners, working through the Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) and NGO Forum (NGOF) on Cambodia. Meanwhile, Oxfam staffers in Washington, DC, helped create a coalition of international development and human rights groups to engage governments and other inter- national agencies—which contribute about half of Cambodia’s annual budget—to press the government for more local con- sultation on the law. The government acquiesced.

Although this work represents only 7 percent of our overall expenses, it is an increasingly important component of our efforts. If Oxfam were only a charity, public education would not be critical to our mission. Because our goal is to eradicate the conditions that allow poverty to persist, we seek social change. As one nonprofit explains, “Social change involves making significant changes on a systemic level. The power that social change organizations bring to the table is their ability to organize, to educate and to mobilize” (Funding Exchange/Change not Charity, www.fex.org).

26 GETTING THE MESSAGE OUT In 2011–12, Oxfam made great strides in getting our message out. Our online community grew by 34 percent to reach more than 500,000 members. Our activist base grew by 43 percent. Our websites and blogs had an average of 12,275 page views per day. We launched a new blog to highlight our policy work, which has gotten national media pickup. We published 17 re- search reports and created more than 40 videos. Our work was presented in venues from Capitol Hill to the UN Climate Summit in South Africa. We looked for unexpected opportunities to reach new audiences with issues of poverty and injustice: music videos, textbooks, and billboards. We won design awards, technology awards, storytelling awards, and an Emmy Award for a music video that we produced with an indie rock band to raise awareness about the lingering issues for coastal communities following the BP oil spill.

MASS ACTION AGAINST HUNGER Expanding upon a decades-long tradition of grassroots action around Thanksgiving, fall 2011 marked Oxfam’s first effort to engage US supporters in a season-long campaign to fight hunger. We co-produced a 30-minute TV show for World Food Day in October with LinkTV’s ViewChange.org. At our request— using tools we developed for them—Oxfam supporters hosted 449 World Food Day dinners, drawing more than 9,700 people into a conversation about food, farmers, and fairness. Volun- mobilizing for women teers and staff raised awareness about global hunger at 61 local farmers’ markets. Closer to Thanksgiving, our supporters hosted 358 Oxfam America Hunger Banquets around the coun- try—up from 244 events the previous year, thanks to targeted outreach to educators and student leaders nationwide.

MOBILIZING FOR WOMEN On International Women’s Day in 2011 and 2012, Oxfam brought together disparate groups to call attention to the female face of world poverty. In March 2011, 7,000 supporters; visiting women leaders from Mali, Haiti, and Cambodia; and Sisters on the Planet ambassadors—a group of powerful women leaders who support Oxfam’s work—organized 234 community events. These events attracted 6,500 new support- ers in 42 states. In 2012, when Oxfam convened 70 influential women in Washington, DC, including Senior Advisor to President Obama Valerie Jarrett, to urge Congress to invest in women farmers, celebrity supporters like actor Kristin Davis and media coverage on networks like MSNBC helped put the issue in the national spotlight. Meanwhile, an online campaign mobilized more than 6,500 people to honor inspiring women in their lives with Oxfam e-cards and awards. For its effective use of blogger outreach and social media sharing, the effort was honored as a notable online campaign by the news web site Mashable.

In this section, you’ll note that much of the work we profile does not have a cost associated with it. This is because the majority of our public education work is done in support of our development and humanitarian programs or our policy and campaigning efforts. The result is that most of public education is “cross-cutting” and cannot be isolated by event or product.
