3. Influencing
1. Refers to systemic efforts to affect policies and
laws/regulations (and their implementation),
budget, company policies, company practices,
attitudes, and beliefs in such a way to promote
more just societies without poverty and inequality
2. More holistic and integrated approach to
advocacy and campaigning
4. Influencing is us,
our self
For Oxfam, Influencing is not
only a tool: It is part of who we
are. Whether it is working to
ensure that…learning from the
best of our country programs
and advocating for a replication
at scale, supporting partners to
hold their government to
account for delivery of essential
services that will empower
people living in poverty,
influencing has a key role to
play in every country in which
oxfam works.
(Winnie Byanyima, Executive
Director of Oxfam International)

1. Assumptions: what situation we want to change?
What is happening? local – national (if needed, link

3. Goal: change – is it law/ policy? Is it implementation
of a law or policy/ is it behaviours?

Focus on how change
happens: focus at local
and national level
