External context – core problem of economic model. Sustainable resource use & decent livelihoods for poorest..Oxfam influence/convene around issues & solutions
The how and the what … • Big challenge is "how" rather than "what“ • Practical visionary, challenge poor and amplify good policy & practice by Government and Private sector. • Three targets – • Challenge natural resource use, agriculture & extractive focus • Shift development to a fair and sustainable food system • Start-up/increase urban livelihoods and resilient habitat work • Innovate on cross-cutting themes – • Resilience, Gender, Urban, Private sector, active citizens, financing for development and youth
The how – internal change… • Influence change - active citizenship, enable those in poverty ‘governance space’ or leverage solutions Oxfam or partners develop (advocacy or multi-stakeholder initiatives). • Invest in people, get the right staff who can both play ‘insider’ or ‘outsider’ role • Programme quality, requires understanding of how to scale change (systems thinking) combined with (power) analysis
The how – systems thinking • Systemic analysis and spot transformational moments Integrate interventions across systems – added complexity
1. Fair & sust. FOOD SYSTEM – Facilitate smallholder supply chains, shift investment and ‘feed the city’ • Objectives for 2019 • More small-scale and marginal producers will intensify their production sustainably, adapt to climate change and increase their resilience to shocks and stresses • More rural women living in poverty are economically empowered and able to influence the decisions that affect them • More small-scale producers, both women and men, are able to develop resilient livelihoods, with greater food security, participate in agricultural markets, and prosper from policies that promote small-scale agriculture • More women and men in vulnerable urban settings will claim their rights to decent work and build sustainable livelihoods, as workers and as entrepreneurs
Framing the issue 1. Fair & sust. FOOD SYSTEM – Facilitate smallholder supply chains, shift investment and ‘feed the city’ Marginalisation - Bringing those living in poverty into the economy Only 1.5 per cent of global economic growth went to people on less than $1/day over the last 20 years 33% 1-2% ‘market-ready’ farmers (2% farmers 50% of sales) 4% Can we help farmers move up a level? Rural world 1 3-15% are regularly selling into markets • Value reaching primary producers • Primary producers take 4% for farmers/producers of estimated at US$633m in Ul poverty footprint • Greater risk and volatility • Marginal farms key challenge, How to make this population • prosperous and resilient 20-30% are occasionally connected to markers and are food buyers Rural world 2 40-50% are subsistence (e.g. maize), buy in food, and get most cash from off farm work. Rural world 3
1. Food system - Which targets? • 2 billion dependent on 500M small farms: • Rural world 1 – 2-10% commercial • Rural world 2 – 20-25% asset ready • Rural world 3 – • 40-45% Marginal farms • 25% Rural landless • TRANSFORMING WOMENS • LIVELIHOODS? • 60-80% of food producers • TRANSFORMING MARGINAL FARMS?
2. FAIR & just sharing of resources – Defend community land & water rights, shift investment and enable ‘resilient cities for the vulnerable’ • Objectives for 2019 • More poor and marginalized women and men will: • be able to secure and protect their just claims to and control of land, water and natural resources • will benefit from expanded national and international debate on economic development policies beyond conventional GDP growth to focus on equitable prosperity within a resource-constrained world • More women and men in vulnerable urban settings will: • gain their right to the resources of a decent habitat, and governance of resources is improved, in 10 countries.
