Mission and Vision
A just world, without poverty. That is our mission. We believe that people can build independent livelihoods, provided their rights are respected. That is why we help people around the world to stand up for their rights.
1. Right to sustainable livelihood resources
Everybody must be sure of a fair income and enough to eat. Yet this is not the case for 20% of the world’s population. That is why we are working on better access to land and water, and on fair working and trading conditions.
2. Right to basic social services
Education and health care are essential for building better societies. Yet even as we make progress towards universal primary education, around the world, there are still 130 million kids in school who fail to learn basic reading, writing and maths. When governments fail to deliver, Oxfam together with partner organizations invest in quality basic social services.
3. Right to life and security
Natural disasters, climate change and armed conflicts hit millions of people every year. We support them with relief aid and reconstruction. And we prepare people to prevent or mitigate the effects of disasters and conflicts.
4. Right to social and political participation
Knowledge is power. We believe that when people can participate in public decisions that affect them, they can build independent livelihoods and thriving communities.Together with partners we give people access to information and a voice.
5. Right to an identity
Gender inequality is both a violation of human rights and an obstacle to sustainable development. In a just world there is no place for the discrimination of women and minorities.
Our Core Values
When people’s basic rights are respected, we can rid the world of poverty and injustice. This is what we stand for:
- Empowerment
We work on the basis of the power and potential of people. We provide practical and innovative solutions to empower people to build their livelihoods without poverty.
- Accountability
We call on those in power to consider people in a vulnerable position in word and action. And we of course account for our own work to governments, donors, supporters, volunteers, corporations and almost 17 million Dutch men and women.
- Inclusiveness
We are all equal, irrespective of the accident of birth, gender, faith or sexual orientation. In all our work we give special attention to the position and rights of women and minorities. And given the potentially pivotal role of women as agents of change, gender justice is at the heart of everything we do.

Campanha Cresca - Mocambique, is a project that aims to stop land-grabbing and related issues in Mozambique, from 1st of January 2016 until 31st of December 2019. The GROW campaign launched globally in 2011 with the goal of #People living in poverty claim power in the way the world manages land, water and climate change, so that they can grow or buy enough food to eat # now and in the future.# 3 years later, and 6 years since the 2008 global food crisis, hunger amidst a world of plenty continues to be the scandal of our age. From 2016-19, our EJ campaigning will build on the foundations we have created in the first 4 years of GROW to help to re-energise the fight against hunger. We will help shift the power balance by campaigning with people around the world on 3 crucial battle grounds in the fight against hunger: agriculture, climate change, and land rights. key external opportunities for Oxfam in Mozambique to achieve change in 2016-9 related to economic justice and Oxfam Strategic Plan goals 4 <(>&<)> 5. 1. Is in the process of drafting the national law on Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition; 2. The Southern African Development Community [SADC] has adoptedmeasures to revolutionise the agricultural sector, which contributes between 4 percent and 27 percent of the regional GDP and about13% of total export earnings. The SADC is advocating increased support for farmers to boost production. Farmers are at the centre of Africa#s transformation agenda. Therefore, clear agricultural policies such as access to inputs, especially seeds and fertiliser, as well as credit facilities and extension services, are needed to improve yields 3. The 10th Anniversary of Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) is an important milestone and an opportunity to continue to prioritize agriculture and foodsecurity in policy and implementation to generate concrete results and impacts; 4. Operationalization of AU Agenda 2063 will influence that more rural women living in poverty are economically the decisions that affect them and more small-scale and marginal producers will intensify their production sustainably, adapt to climate change and increase their resilience to shocks and stresses;

Das FZ-Vorhaben PROMOGEF hat durch die Bereitstellung von dezentraler Infrastruktur und deren Ausstattung, die Digitalisierung der Landrechtsverwaltung und deren Modernisierung die Verbesserung des Zugangs zu Landnutzungsrechten und Landtiteln als Ziel und unterstützt damit die Umsetzung der senegalesischen Reformagenda (Plan Senegal Emergent II). Œ ŒKernproblem: ŒZuständigkeiten im Bereich Landrecht sind unklar, staatliche Stellen und Gemeinden sind nicht ausreichend für die Aufgabe ausgerüstet und die aktuelle Rechtslage trägt den Bedürfnissen der Gemeinden noch nicht ausreichend Rechnung (z.B. hinsichtlich der Ausweisung als Weideflächen, Gemeindeland oder Gruppenbesitz). Außerdem besteht Misstrauen zwischen Kommunen und staatlichen Behörden, da die Kommunen fürchten, ihr Recht der Landverwaltung durch eine Formalisierung abgesprochen zu bekommen. Œ ŒModulziel: ŒDie Landrechtsverwaltung durch die zuständigen Behörden (Verwaltungsbehörden, lokale Behörden und technische Dienste) ist effizient, transparent und verantwortungsvoll. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs: Œ Die Infrastruktur und die Ausrüstung für die Verwaltung der Landrechte ist modernisiert. Œ Das digitalisierte System der Landrechtsveraltung (SGF), das ein digitales Grundbuch und ein geographisches Informationssystem umfasst, ist eingerichtet. Œ Die für die Projektdurchführung erforderlichen Management- und Governance-Fähigkeiten der DGID sind gestärkt (dies erfolgt durch die Entwicklung und Umsetzung eines Change-Management-Plans der Behörde, der u.a. die Einbeziehung der Zivilgesellschaft und die Berücksichtigung von Bedürfnissen vulnerabler Gruppen, darunter v.a. Frauen, in Verwaltungshandeln einbindet). Œ ŒZielgruppe: ŒDie Zielgruppe ist die Bevölkerung in den Interventionsregionen. Œ ŒBeitrag zur nationalen Umsetzung der Agenda 2030: ŒDas Modul leistet einen Beitrag zur Erreichung des Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1, SDG 8 und SDG 16 der Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung, welche durch den nationalen Entwicklungsplan Plan Sénégal Emergent (PSE) umgesetzt wird.

HO-ALIVE Fair Value Chains 2019-2020
General
The ALIVE team comprises three main areas of intervention: land rights, climate resilience and inclusive value chains. The synergy between the three has been maximized and also links with the intervention areas of the GROW team have been emphasized. The planned activities with a local aspect have been linked to the focus countries of tho Strategic Partnership. Some of the global activities, e.g. the work at the multi-stakeholder initiative Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil are not (anymore) linked to activities in a focus country for reasons that are related to specific and recent developments that do not allow for these local activities. LAND Targetof the influencing activities are the national governments of SP focus countries, and other countries of the Global Land Programme to adopt and adequately implementing policies that ensure enforcement and protection of land rights. The chosen interventions include overall coordination of an Oxfam global strategic programme on land, technical advice and coaching in the application of specific policy tools to country teams. ln addition, knowledge hub functions will be provided, such as facilitating peer-learning and institutional knowledge management. Direct dialogue will be undertaken with a group of global actors including various institutional donor agencies, ILC and women's movements to have them adopt policies and practices on women's land rights, land and inequality, responsible agri investment as well as make funds available for these topics. Four country teams will get support to advocate their respective national governments to integrate Oxfam's demands in their policies on women's land rights and to apply responsible agri-investments. CLIMATE RESILIenCE Oxfam partners in African focus countries will receive technical advice to participate in the formulation of National Action Plans on Climate Change Adaptation (NAPAs) countries while integrating social justice in relation to climate change.Integrated Landscape approaches will be promoted in various African countries also through the demonstration of effective climate resilient farming systems and genetic diversity. ln addition, global donors, EU and NL MoFA will be targeted with the ask to acknowledge the aspects of inequality and vulnerability of people affected by climate change in their policies and to translate this into the allocation of funds. Oxfam will keep social justice high on the aqenda of the Landscape for People Food and Nature Initiative (LPFN) in the Netherlands. INCLUSIVE VALUE CHAINS Two innovative elements have been formulated as part of Oxfam Novib's value chain work'. One includes the joint research with Dutch Development Bank FMO on the application of a relevant land related methodology by one or more of its clients underpinning the bank's responsible investment. The other innovation relates to block chain technology which will be further developed and tested in the rice and strawberry supply chains of SP focus countries in Africa and SEA. ALIVEwill closely collaborate with the GROW team on the current Behind the Barcode Campaign and provide best practices to retailers as well as positive examples on the respect of workers rights, women's rights and the inclusion of small scale producers in the seafood sector. Simultaneously country teams in South East Asia working on seafood and rice will be supported in their national and regional campaigns. Publications will be done on 'certification and beyond' as well as on the business case for genderequality. The concepts of living wage and living income as well as smallholder inclusion and gender equality will be promoted at various MS ls (RSPO, ASC, MSC, ASIC, SRP) while learning from experiences in other sectors e.g. cocoa. Direct dialogue willbeundertaken with a selected group of MNCs including targeted BTB companies with the aim to make them improve their policies and practices as related to smallholder inclusion,land rights and gender equality. Oxfam Novib will become active at the World Benchmark Alliance for the measurement of SDG commitments by MNCs.
