Description
Despite the role of Congress in foreign and national security policy, congressional members and the staffers who support them do not always come to Washington, D.C.familiar with the complexities of international relations. To help deepen their understanding of and inform their decisionmaking on foreign policy, a program of OXFAM America will educate congressional members and staffersabout conditions in countries experiencing conflict or humanitarian crisis. Through a series of in-personbriefings, OXFAM America, through itsOxfam Rights In Crisis Briefing Series,will expose key bipartisan and bicameral lawmakersto the perspectives of communities affected by crises. The series will aim to build congressionalawareness of what is happening on the groundand identify U.S. governmental approaches that can best address them.
