Oxfam is an international non-governmental organization working in more than 70 countries of the world. Its purpose is to work with others to overcome poverty and suffering.
In July 2010 Oxfam and the international consumer goods company Unilever signed up to work together over the next five years to learn how to do business with women and men smallholders in a way that improves their livelihoods and that informs Unilever`s business model and Oxfam`s development model.
Sunrise aims to inform how sustainable smallholder-based supply chains that are both commercially viable and effective at reducing poverty for marginalised women and men smallholders can be established. The project also aims to share what it learns with aim of influencing other companies to invest in business models that reduce poverty for some of the world`s poorest farmers and their families.
