What is OIYP?

Oxfam International Youth Partnerships (OIYP) is an Oxfam International
initiative, managed by Oxfam Australia since 2000. OIYP strengthens young
people's ability to effect change in their community, and provides a base from
which they can influence broader changes through engagement in a global network
of over 1100 OIYP Action Partners.
Through the next 3 year OIYP Program, OIYP 2010 – 2013, Oxfam Australia will
provide opportunities and support for 300 new Action Partners so they may
demonstrate leadership and expand the influence of youth for positive changes
locally, nationally and globally.

Program, please visit our website www.oiyp.oxfam. org.
