Key Facts
Oxfam's Raising Her Voice programme promotes the rights and capacity of poor women to engage effectively in governance at all levels through increased voice and influence and more effective institutional accountability. The overall objective of the programme is to ensure that public policy, decision-making, practices and expenditure reflect the interests of poor and marginalised women, especially those excluded from political, social and economic life. It will achieve this by supporting women’s leadership and addressing attitudes and beliefs about the role of women in public decision-making using strategies such as media and communications work to disseminate learning and best practice, networking, lobbying and advocacy, working with public institutions and decision-making forums and empowering and building capacity of civil society organisations. The programme consists of a pan-African element involving project work in 8 countries, 1 Africa-wide coordination project, 9 country projects in South/East Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe/CIS, and one global project covering cross-programme learning, global advocacy and the sharing of experiences across projects.
