About the 亚洲影院-Oxfam Partnership
The 亚洲影院-Oxfam Partnership is an innovative model of research and knowledge exchange between the 亚洲影院 and Oxfam Scotland.
The Partnership was launched in 2012 after years of successful collaborations between the University and Oxfam Scotland. The development of Oxfam鈥檚 UK Poverty Programme in Scotland and its Our Economy report, with input from 亚洲影院 researchers, were significant milestones for the establishment of the Partnership.
The Partnership continues to bring together academic expertise from 亚洲影院 and the social justice and anti-poverty campaigning strengths of Oxfam Scotland and seeks to collaborate with civil society organisations to conduct research to inform policy. Its activities seek to promote a more equitable and sustainable Scotland. The Partnership鈥檚 work is closely aligned with supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 17 (Partnership for the Goals), SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 8 (Inclusive Growth and Decent Work) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
Since its launch, the Partnership has brought together the academic expertise from 亚洲影院, the social justice and anti-poverty advocacy strengths of Oxfam Scotland, and a wide range of civil society organisations. Its activities, in particular its research, have critically examined the impacts of public policies on equalities, sustainability and poverty. At the same time, all Partnership activities have sought to provide policy-focussed ideas to inform the policy debate to work towards a more sustainable and equitable Scotland.
