Description
In March 2011, Rankin travelled to Northern Kenya with Oxfam to help raise awareness of the global food crisis for their Grow campaign, capturing the people of Northern Kenya.
”The Grow campaign is about transforming the world’s broken food system so that it works for everyone. It is also about ensuring that the system is fit for a future where natural resource constraints, environmental challenges such as climate change, and a growing population will make feeding the world even harder. Working with partners and allies around the world it has helped increase investment in small scale agriculture, raised the bar on climate finance, helped communities win back their land and won significant policy commitments from the world's biggest food companies. More than 50 countries are engaged in the Grow campaign - about 34 of them in the south. The post holder oversees the development of effective strategies to achieve campaign objectives, manages the global campaign team and project manages all aspects of campaign planning and implementation. To achieve this they manage a substantial team of experts leading key functions and projects for the campaign, and work closely with senior staff across the Oxfam family and key global partners and allies.” - Oxfam, 2011
