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.

Objectives
ltpgtThe project aims to provide support to earthquake-affected communities in Harim district, Idleb governorate. It focuses on rehabilitating 796 minor-damaged apartments and 145 moderate-damaged apartments. The average cost per household is estimated at 500 USD for minor damage and 1300 USD for moderate damage. The project will benefit a total of 941HHs, 4680 individuals, including 1005 men, 1047 women, 1381 boys, and 1247 girls.ltbrgtBINAA and based on ongoing project with UNDP, is conducting a damage survey in Harim, Idleb, and Jisr-Ash-Shugur districts. Based on the results of the assessment, BINAA will rehabilitate 941 houses, with 656 houses in Tellemar and 280 houses in Milis (Milis: 312 W, 406 G, 300 M, 392 B - Tellemar: 735 W, 841 G, 705 M, 999 B). The rehabilitation assistance will be determined based on verified information regarding household vulnerability and the availability of housing and land ownership documents. The rehabilitation cost will be determined according to the level of damage.ltbrgtThe selection of the project locations in Harim district was based on a Multi-Sector Needs and Vulnerability Assessment (MSRNA) conducted by BINAA. After analyzing the results, BINAA found that the chosen locations had the highest level of vulnerability. The selection was further validated through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Although other locations are also in need, BINAA will coordinate with the cluster and other partners to address the gaps.ltbrgtAs a contingency plan, BINAA has identified additional locations affected by the earthquake. These locations will undergo technical damage assessment by BINAA/UNDP ongoing project if any problems or overlaps arise in the targeted areas.ltbrgtIn addition to providing direct aid, the project emphasizes the collection and analysis of data and information to understand the extent of the damage and determine the most effective ways to support the affected communities. This approach ensures that the assistance provided is targeted and has a lasting impact on those in need.ltbrgtBINAA's technical team will conduct rehabilitation and maintenance work on lightly and moderately damaged buildings based on the results of the technical evaluation. The scope of work includes debris removal, structural repairs, fixing toilets, windows, doors, stairs, and providing water tanks and sanitary facilities. Local contractors will be engaged to carry out the repair works, enabling the use of local materials and manpower and supporting the local market. Special considerations will be made for households with disabled persons, including disability-friendly entrances and toilet facilities.ltbrgtUpon completion of the rehabilitation work, BINAA will coordinate with local communities for the proper handing-over process of the rehabilitated houses. A certificate of completion will be signed by all involved entities, ensuring transparency and accountability in the project implementation.ltbrgtlt/pgt

General
The programme will empower precarious workers in the highly informal agri-food sector - mostly micro, small and medium enterprises - in 3 ASEAN member-states (Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam) with the aim of addressing their rights, needs and vulnerabilities through the promotion of 3 pillars of the JSF Decent Work: labour rights at work, social protection and social dialogue for all. Climate change impacts, economic insecurity and occupational safety and health of these workers will be addressed by more adequate and shock-responsive social protection measures. Labour law enforcement will be enhanced to upgrade their livelihoods. These workers will be heard by employers and relevant government structures through dialogue and negotiation mechanisms. A particular focus is put on women workers who are impacted differently due to prevalent gender norms constituting additional obstacles to their empowerment, including gender-based violence and time scarcity due to long hours of unpaid care and domestic work. Without gender justice, decent work cannot be achieved. Following a rights-based and gender transformative approach, 16 local partners jointly cover the target groups in the 3 countries. They will cooperate to empower local groups and their leaders to influence power holders more effectively. 3 regional partners will add value through learning and knowledge building, tapping from experiences in the ASEAN region, while leveraging the relevant ASEAN policy frameworks, in particular those promoting decent work, social protection and gender equality. 9 collaborators, including the local Oxfam offices, will support the partners through capacity strengthening, knowledge sharing and brokering cooperation. At the end of the programme, these women workers will become more resilient to shocks and risks, have more agency and voice, and work and live on more equal footing in society. Other beneficiaries include male workers, network members and staff of partners and stakeholders. By 2026, 69.200 women workers in the agri-food sector, including small holder farmers, in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, exercise their right and have access to adequate labour and social protection contributing to gender equality and (shock) resilience, through better representation, policy and practice changes.
