OXFAM’S 3 APPROACHES… Development Helping communities to help themselves, by empowering them to find solutions. Emergencies Saving lives in the short term. Campaigning for Change Ensuring the voices of vulnerable people are heard; pressuring world leaders and pushing for lasting change.

SHORT TERM… Generally this means the response deals immediately with the symptoms. (Like going to the doctor if you have a cold…) For example: Using trucks to deliver water to people who lack access to water. This is called humanitarian emergency work.

LONG TERM… Preventing the symptoms from happening in the future. This is dealing with the causes. (Like exercising so you don’t catch a cold in the first place…) For example: Building wells so people have access to water in future. This is called development or campaigning.

USE THE WORKSHEET… For each response, the worksheet will help you to decide if it is short term or long term. When you see the BLUE TICK on screen… …tick either short-term, long-term, or both on the sheet.
