Oxfam Novib

Every human being has the right to a decent existence. But hundreds of millions of people live in poverty. Injustice is the most important cause of poverty. Fighting poverty structurally starts with the basic rights of every human being.

A just world. Without poverty.
Oxfam Novib, a member of Oxfam International, is fighting for a just world without poverty. Together with people, organisations, businesses and governments. Through projects and lobby. Locally and internationally. Because poverty and injustice are global problems. They are about unjust economic and political relationships. That is why all the Oxfams are working together to have more influence and achieve more in our struggle for a just world without poverty.

University of Groningen

The Centre for Development Studies (CDS) is a research institute that pools the expertise on development-related issues of all ten faculties of the University of Groningen. The CDS was established to initiate and conduct research, to strengthen co-operation with universities and academic institutions in developing countries, to promote interfaculty education, and to foster the public debate on a wide range of topics varying from globalization, North-South relations and sustainable development. Senior staff members, post-docs and PhD students of the various faculties participate in a wide variety of CDS activities, such as joint research projects, conferences and workshops. The CDS was officially launched in 1997, in the presence of Mr. Jan Pronk , at the time Minister of Development Co-operation . The CDS is hosted by the Faculty of Spatial Sciences.
