A new dawn for equitable growth in Myanmar?: Making the private sector work for small-scale agriculture

Report
Oxfam

Author: Jasmine Burnley, Myanmar Policy Coordinator

A new wave of political reforms have set Myanmar on a road to unprecedented economic expansion, but without targeted policy efforts and regulation to level the playing field, the benefits of new investment will filter down to only a few, leaving small-scale farmers – the backbone of the Myanmar economy – unable to benefit from this growth.

Report
Oxfam

Mediante el apoyo a los pequeños productores y productoras agrícolas, los responsables de la elaboración de políticas de gobiernos y agencias donantes pueden ayudar a algunas de las personas más pobres del mundo a mejorar sus medios de vida. Lamentablemente, la evidencia muestra que la mayoría de las actuales políticas de gobiernos y donantes tienden a favorecer la agricultura a gran escala, en detrimento de los pequeños productores, las mujeres y las comunidades rurales.

Pouvoir, droits et marchés accessibles à tous : Les politiques publiques en faveur de l'agriculture à petite échelle

Report
Oxfam

En soutenant les petits producteurs agricoles, les décideurs politiques des gouvernements et les organismes bailleurs de fonds peuvent aider certaines des populations les plus pauvres au monde à améliorer leurs moyens de subsistance.

Power, Rights, and Inclusive Markets: Public policies that support small-scale agriculture

Report
Oxfam

Author: Erinch Sahan, Private Sector Policy Adviser, Oxfam; Jodie Thorpe

By supporting small-scale agricultural producers, policy makers in governments and donor agencies can help some of the poorest people in the world to improve their livelihoods.

Unfortunately, evidence suggests that most donor and government policies are currently biased towards large-scale agriculture at the expense of small-scale producers, women, and rural communities.

A group of 21 international aid agencies working in six countries directly affected by the Syrian crisis calls on the international community to dig deep and be generous in responding to the UN’s new Syria and refugee response appeals, being launched today.

Pas de hasard : Résilience et inégalités face au risque (resumé)

Report
Oxfam

Nous avons besoin d'une nouvelle approche en matière de lutte contre les risques et la pauvreté. Les risques augmentent plus rapidement que les mesures de lutte contre les risques. Nombre d'entre eux pèsent sur les personnes pauvres, et les femmes payent le plus lourd tribut. Dans de nombreuses régions essuyant crise après crise, les interventions des États et du secteur de l'aide internationale ne suffisent pas. L'espoir d'une vie prospère pour les femmes et les hommes les plus pauvres, malgré les chocs, les pressions et l'incertitude, passe par le renforcement de leur résilience.

Housing Delivery and Housing Finance in Haiti: Operationalizing the national housing policy

Report
Oxfam

Although the 2010 earthquake destroyed much of Haiti's urban infrastructure, it is not the sole cause of the nation's distress today. Rather, the earthquake exposed weaknesses in Haiti's housing ecosystem—including delivery blockages and the absence of effective supply and demand value chains that must be addressed or the nation will never be able to build a successful society with quality affordable urban housing.
