Oxfam Policy & Practice News February 2016

The latest policy, research, and learning from Oxfam

Dear

Ethiopia is facing its worst drought in fifty years. This month we've published briefings on the crises in Ethiopia and in Syria. We've also produced a webinar and factsheet on women, peace and security in the Middle East and North Africa.

On our blog you’ll find opinion on taxation, business and supply chains, the Zika virus, inequality in emerging economies, and innovation.

We also share programme learning on resilience, community radio and agricultural training for women. And don't miss our upcoming #GenderSDG twitter debate on what development frameworks can do for women.

Best wishes,

Amy Moran and Catherine Meredith

What can development frameworks do for women?

We want to hear your views. Simply follow the hashtag #GenderSDG on March 7 at 15:00 GMT and have your say by including in your tweets: #GenderSDG and @OxfamGBPolicy or @GaDJournal
