Synopsis: Society is full of would-be 'change agents'-campaigners, government officials, enlightened business people, engaged intellectuals-set on improving public services, reforming laws and regulations, guaranteeing human rights, achieving a fairer deal for those on the sharp end, and greater recognition for any number of issues. Drawing on many first-hand examples and numerous new case studies and interviews with grassroots activists and organizations around the world, as well as Oxfam's unrivaled global experience, this important book answers the question: how does change happen and how can governments, organizations, businesses, leaders, campaigners, employees, and ordinary citizens-make a difference?
