In the first of a series of Guardian Weekly special podcasts Charlotte Thompson is joined by Oxfam's chief executive Barbara Stocking to discuss everything from how to mobilise for a major humanitarian disaster to what are the biggest challenges of the future.
Oxfam has over 3,000 partners in more than 100 countries and an annual global expenditure of a billion dollars. We debate how the humanitarian and campaigning agency treads the path between lobbying governments and at the same time working with them to help the world's poor.
We look at the enlightened self-interest of big business and how Oxfam might work with capitalism to end global poverty, and ask what acountability a major NGO has to its donors.
The Guardian Weekly's regular podcast looks behind world events, with reports from individuals in global news hotspots, and analysis from Guardian experts.
The Guardian Weekly print edition is one of the world's best-selling international weekly newspapers. It provides a global view on world events drawing on the editorial resources of the Guardian, with selected articles from the Observer, the Washington Post and Le Monde.
