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.

Oxfam's GROW campaign works for the billions of us who eat food # and for the more than one billion poor men and women who grow it.Through our global campaign, we address inequality in the global food system. Our overall objective is that 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. We support local communities to claim back their power, earn a living income, and to grow or buy food by ensuring investments in rural people. By ensuring investments in rural people, we support them in overcoming the dramatic impacts of climate change on agriculture, allowing them to thrive. GROW focusses on change at national levels and on opportunities to achieve international impact. More specifically, by 2019 we aim for more governments, multilateral institutions and companies implementing policies that promote sustainable food production and consumption, while supporting those most vulnerable to adapt to climate change, and helping communities realise their rights to land with a particular focus on women who produce much of the world#s food. To ensure that the Sustainable Development Goals, including zero hunger, become a reality, we need innovative ideas that hold a promise of a better future for many # not just a privileged few. We believe there are key factors that drive hunger and inequality: unfair distribution within value chains, insecure land rights, climate change, gender inequality and ever more young people desperate for opportunities leaving rural areas. Oxfam's GROW campaign tackles the key sources in the broken global food system by working to mobilise impacted communities and active consumers alike. Since the launch of the GROW campaign in 2011 more than 10 million people have been reached through on- and offline campaign activities and a multitude of people has been reached through media coverage. We are proud of the achievements of GROW. We gave small-scale female farmers avoice; through the Behind the Brands campaign significant new commitments have been made by big food and beverage companies to improve social and environmental standards in their vast supply chains; we are proud of our contribution to keep climate finance, especially for adaptation and resilience, on the agenda of the global climate negotiations at COP21 in Paris; and we recently celebrated a land mark victory as the Constitutional Court in Colombia recognized the Land Rights of the indigenous community Cañamomo Lomaprieta and granted protection for ancestral mining activities. An overview of our results can be found on the interactive map. Oxfam is at the beginning of a new phase of the GROW campaign (2017 # 2020). Throughout the years, we have been actively updating our context analysis, testing drivers of change, reflecting on models of campaigning, addressing new key actors, and, exploring new alliances. Nonetheless, now more than ever we feel the need to increase our impact and change systemic drivers of inequality in the food system. In this document, we present three innovative work streams running until at least 2020. 1. A new worldwide campaign addressing inequality in food value chains (expected launch October 2017) 2. The LandRightsNow campaign 3. Effective adaptation finance to support women farmers. These three projects have received seed funding from inter alia SIDA and we are currently looking for opportunities to up-scale them between 2017-2020 to reach our ultimate objectives. Wewantto note that this document does not present the future direction of the entire GROW campaign but presents three selected trajectories (2017 # 2020) where innovation is key.
TFSN Land Governance in Cambodia
General
The SDC identified four key criteria for the successful project include proposed project team, proposed intervention strategy, procedure and organization, and financial proposal. SDC compared ONL score to the winning bid and the average value. Most of the scores were lower than the average, except the financial proposal (4.3 compared to average 3.4). Specific lessons learnt: 1. The required CVs for the proposed project team were not given adequate attention till the last moment. 2. The intervention strategy was a little bit broad as it is regional project. 3. SDC should have been included as an actor on land governance in the project rather than donoronly.
UWONET- Fostering Women's Leadership Uga
General
PROJECT TITLE: FOSTERING WOMen#S LEADERSHIP TO ADVANCE WOMen#S LAND RIGHTS AND ADDRESS VIOLenCE AGAINST WOMen AND GIRLS IN UGANDA. The project builds on the concluded 5-year Raising Her Voice Project (RHVP) which was conceived and designed to influence the UgandaGovernment to ratify and domesticate the Africa Union Protocol on Women#s Rights without harmful reservations; and to contribute topromoting the role of women in the decision-making processes affecting their lives. The five-year Project was launched in 2008 and ended in March 2013. This project will be part of the 2nd phase of the RHV which started march 2014. Although the 2nd phase of the project focuses on fostering Local women#s activism and leadership to advance Women#s land rights and fight against VAW, the 3rd yearof the 2nd phase of RHV will continue to consolidate gains made in advancing women#s land rights and VAW prevention and response The project is intended to build the capacity of grass root political women leaders and women#s rights organisations to engage, influence and lobby for gender responsive programmes and interventions on land and to address VAW issues in line with the Maputo protocol.In 2010 and 2013, the Government of Uganda passed the Domestic Violence Act and the land policy respectively. This project aims therefore to expedite the implementation of these frameworks active engagement of the key stakeholders, majority of who are women (70%). The project will also create important connections between decision making spaces at local (Sub county and district), national andregional levels. The Project consortium members will build the capacity and confidence of women and women leaders to equally influence national policy debates around implementation of the Domestic Violence Act, financing for GBV prevention and response facilitiesand the Land policy with emphasis, succession, inheritance and functionality of Land management structures at Local level. The project will build capacity of informal and formal structuresto strengthen coordination and the referral pathway for increased access tojustice. Through the project, 2 main goals will be realised; 1) National women#s rights organisations and district coalitions working on VAW and women#s land rights will haveimproved capacity to influence government and social actors to address women#s rights violations 2) The Maputo Protocol and other regional declarations on women#s rights will be increasingly applied by national governments and traditional justice mechanisms
Réponse d’urgence à la crise de sécurité alimentaire dans la zone de santé de Kalole, territoire de Shabunda,
Objectives
Le programme proposé de 6 mois, vise à assister 9406 personnes (1344 ménages) dans les départements de Torodi et Ayerou, dans la région de Tillabéri. La situation humanitaire dans les départements ciblés a été marquée par l’augmentation des actes de Groupes Armés Non Etatiques (GANE) qui a entrainé l’augmentation des déplacements de population internes. Au premier semestre 2021, 101 144 personnes ont été rapportées comme affectées par les déplacements, suite à un conflit et/ou un choc selon OCHA et le Ministère des Affaires Humanitaires (MAH). La grande partie des Populations Déplacés Internes (PDI) sont hébergés par les communautés hôtes (51%) et 48% s’installent sur des sites spontanés, alors qu’1 % s’abrite dans des centres collectifs selon l’OIM (https://dtm.iom.int/reports/niger-). Dans la région de Tillabéri, en date du 24/09/2021, OCHA et le MAH faisaient état de 99 873 PDI, dont 20 859 dans le département d’Abala (21%), 6883 à Ayerou (7%), 9346 à Banibangou (9%), 15136 à Ouallam (15%) et 5141 à Torodi (5%) (Source : fiche de mis à jour situation PDI partagé par le Ministère de l’Action Humanitaire le 28/09/2021). En outre, la région a été impacté par les conséquences des inondations de 2020 et 2021 : plus de 3597 personnes ont été affectées au 16 août 2021 selon les estimatios du MHA (https://reliefweb.int/report/niger/nigerflash-update-1-inondations-flamb-es-de-chol-ra-25-ao-t-2021). De tels chocs à répétition dans un contexte de sous-développement chronique et de faible accès aux services sociaux de base nécessitent une réponse humanitaire rapide, coordonnée et efficace. En date du 07 Septembre 2021, uniquement 19% du plan de réponse humanitaire était financé ( https://fts.unocha.org/) ACTED, en collaboration avec APBE, proposent à travers ce programme de soutenir la mise à l’échelle de la réponse humanitaire par une réponse multisectorielle intégrée dans les secteurs d’Abris et Biens Non Alimentaires (ABNA) et de l’Eau, Hygiène et Assainissement (EHA) en vue de répondre aux besoins des populations affectées par ces différentes crises. En bonne coordination avec les programmes en place, notamment la réponse RRM (Mécanisme de Réponse Rapide), ACTED et APBE proposent de soutenir la réponse de première urgence et de la compléter. Le programme propose en premier lieu i) d’améliorer la couverture en EHA et ABNA notamment au niveau des sites d’accueil existants abritant les PDI pour couvrir les gaps suite à une intervention RRM ou à l’absence d’une intervention humanitaire, au travers d’activités humanitaires semi-durables, et ii) de répondre aux urgences de déplacements si et seulement si le RRM n’en a pas la capacité, au travers d’activités de distribution d’urgence. Dans le secteur EHA, ACTED appuiera l’accès à l’eau, l’assainissement et l’hygiène effectif par un appui en réhabilitation de points d’eau, extension de réseaux d’eau, distribution de kits EHA et sensibilisation de masse. Dans le secteur abris, ACTED appuiera la construction d’abris d’urgence, assurera la distribution de kits ABNA tout en effectuant des sensibilisations relatives à la cohésion sociale et accès à la terre. ACTED mettra également en place de manière transversale des activités de protection, prise en compte du genre, de l’âge et du handicap en respect du principe de Do no Harm. ACTED ciblera les départements Ayerou, et Torodi pour l’EHA et Ayerou, Banibangou, Abala, Ouallam, pour l’ABNA, notamment les sites urbanisés PDI d’Ayorou, Abala et Banibangou au niveau communautaire et les zones difficiles d’accès dans ces départements. Les activités proposées font ainsi parties des interventions priorisées par le cluster ABNA et le cluster EHA et par la stratégie d’allocation, dans les zones prioritaires ciblées cette stratégie.
