OxFID 2020 is the largest student-led development conference in Europe. In collaboration with UNDP and The New York Times, we will be hosting exclusive panels, debates, workshops and networking sessions with leading figures in the world of International Development.
What happens when pledges are made? Which parties are accountable? This year's theme is ‘BEYOND PLEDGES: Delivering Change in an Inclusive World.’
We will be investigating why traditional development actors have often failed to fulfil what they set out to achieve and how diversifying the community of stakeholders can pave the way for progress. The conference will look at the ways in which engaging new actors at the local level and from the private sector can help accelerate change.
