We do this by being propositional around alternatives to these norms, systems and institutions, working with others, producing and sharing evidence and knowledge, supporting active citizenship in ensuring people´s voices are heard, and holding the powerful to account. Oxfam uses different evidence-based campaigning and influencing approaches in the UK and across the countries where we operate as One Oxfam.
