Book Launch: From Poverty to Power: How Active Citizens and Effective States can Change the World

Most of us feel overwhelmed when we contemplate the number of people across the globe suffering the brunt of poverty. Join editor Mark Fried at the launch of Oxfam’s new book, From Poverty to Power, for a discussion on how ordinary people through organized action can help eliminate poverty, and its related challenges of inequality and environmental collapse.

From Poverty to Power, published by Oxfam International (2008), contributes to an urgent and fast-changing debate about development. Its analysis draws on the experience of Oxfam and the organizations it supports in more than 100 countries around the world, recent literature, and extensive discussions with numerous development professionals.

Mark Fried is the Advocacy Coordinator for Oxfam Canada and writes regularly on policy issues related to international development.

Oxfam Canada (www.oxfam.ca) is an international development agency working with over 100 partner organizations in Africa, the Americas and Asia. With a specific focus on women, Oxfam strives to tackle the root causes of poverty, injustice, and inequality and it helps to create self-reliant and sustainable communities.
