Youth Building a Peaceful,
Equitable and Sustainable World
The Oxfam International Youth Parliament (Oxfam IYP) is an initiative of Oxfam International, managed by Oxfam Australia. OIYP is a network of young leaders in 92 countries working for positive and lasting change in their communities.
OIYP's 301 action partners were selected from 2189 applications for the OIYP Program in 2004. They were selected for their commitment to social justice, experience as activists, community and organisational support as well as on the basis of 'action plans' they presented -- their analysis of a key problem in their community and an idea for action. All Action Partners came to Sydney in July 2004 for an intensive week of sharing, linking, learning, capacity building and action planning.
Action Partners will implement their action plans between 2004 and 2006 in their own countries and OIYP will continue to support them by providing integrated project support (grants, online training and mentoring), ongoing strategic support and capacity building as well as access to learning and development through our research, learning and impact programs.
