About

Labour Campaign for International Development is a group for all those committed to a world without poverty & injustice.

Labour Campaign for International Development aims to:

1. To lobby the Labour Party to keep international development high on the agenda, and raise awareness on international development issues among Party members.
2. To re-engage people who have turned to single issues campaigns back into the Labour Party and the political process, by demonstrating that it is only the Labour & Co-operative Parties who can deliver on international development.
3. To provide members with opportunities to network and influence Labour Party policy on international development, and in particular shape the manifesto for the next General Election.
4. To share the ideas & policies, events and campaigns of organisations within the Labour movement working on international development, such as The Co-operative Party, Labour Students & Young Labour, Trade Unions, The Fabians, SERA etc
5. To share the ideas & policies, events and campaigns of civil society organisations working on international development, such as Oxfam, Action Aid, People & Planet, Save the Children and Christian Aid, The Fairtrade Foundation, Tearfund, End Water Poverty
6. To support and build links with Labour and Co-operative movements around the global campaigning against poverty.

We are independent of the Labour Party or any non-governmental organisation.
