Meet Danny Sriskandarajah Fighting Poverty Through Global Policy and Local Justice
As CEO of Oxfam GB and a lifelong advocate for civil society, Danny Sriskandarajah has worked on the front-lines of poverty not just through charity, but through changing the systems that cause it. From the United Nations to grassroots NGOs, Danny’s career has focused on public policy, funding equity, and the rights of people too often left out of economic progress.
His work reminds us that ending poverty requires more than good intentions it takes solidarity, reform, and long-term thinking.
