Friday, 10 November 2017 00:00

OxfamDFI provided a resource person for an Oxfam expert meeting on best practices in using government spending to fight inequality. It presented on how to expand fiscal space to increase spending, on how public spending can best benefit women and girls and on the Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index.

The workshop was attended by participants from 14 Oxfam programme countries, as well as UN Women and the Uganda Ministry of Finance, who exchanged experiences on how best to influence government spending policies to ensure that they fight inequality more effectively. A communiqué establishing a Collaboration Group on Public Spending for inequality reduction was produced.
