Synopsis

This handbook is the product of the experience of Oxfam UK and Ireland in its work in over 70 countries around the world. It offers an expression of Oxfam's fundamental principles: that all the people have the right to an equitable share in the world's resources, and the right to make decisions about their own development. The denial of such rights is at the heart of poverty and suffering. This reference work analyzes policy, procedure and practice in such fields as health, human rights, emergency relief, capacity-building and agricultural production.

About this title

Review

"A valuable reference tool for development practitioners and planners, for policy makers and social analysts, and for teachers and students of development."-Red Cross, Red Crescent Magazine

A copy belongs in every university library, government aid agency, donor organisation, and NGO resource centre. Grassroots Development, 20/1. Even though an Oxfam specific publication, it claims to draw on experiences from the third world as a whole. To that extent, it is an excellent book which any organisation or individual dealing with relief and poverty should have. Africa World Review.

A valuable reference tool for development practitioners and planners, for policy makers and social analysts, and for teachers and students of development."
