Lecture Theatre, Blavatnik School of Government, 10 Merton Street

On Wednesday Blavatnik School of Government MPP students will be hosting Ricardo Fuentes-Nieva, Head of Research at Oxfam and the author of their inequality report, "Working for the Few", which was released before Davos and subsequently went viral.

Ricardo will be talking about the rise of inequality and what governments the world can do to address it. He will also be reflecting on the impact the "Working for the Few" report has made, both in terms of linking a powerful narrative to evidence and in campaign strategy.

Prior to joining Oxfam, he worked with UNDP where he recently led the production of the first Africa Human Development Report. He co-authored several global Human Development Reports as well as the World Bank's World Development Report 2010 and is currently collaborating with the new assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Before joining UNDP, he worked in the Ministry of Social Development in Mexico and the research department of the Inter-American Development Bank. You can can follow him on twitter at @rivefuentes
