Shaping a stronger Oxfam for people living in poverty
Country Context
A new Oxfam Country Strategy was finalised in 2015 and a Country Operating Model in 2016. A transition process has been completed to amalgamate all existing Oxfam operations in a country under one roof. A new operating model has been introduced for Vision 2020 and will be rolled out and embedded in Ethiopia over the next 3 years. A key component of this is the establishment of an Executing Affiliate (EA) to operationalize the Oxfam programme in Ethiopia, under the oversight of the Oxfam International Country Director. As the legally registered entity in the country, it employs in-country staff, is the asset holder, primary contract signatory with in-country donors and suppliers, manages finances and provides back office support and IT systems, and represents the Oxfam Confederation in country. Complementing the work of the Executing Affiliate are Partner Affiliates that provide funding (restricted and unrestricted), thematic expertise and influencing capacity.
Background
The GROW Campaign, an initiative of Oxfam International (OI), seeks to address the biggest challenges facing our food system and in particular the smallholder food producers who grow most of the world’s food. With nearly 800 million people suffering from hunger, urgent action is needed to address climate change, inequalities in land ownership and power imbalances that keep smallholder food producers in poverty. The GROW Campaign seeks to work at the local, national and global levels to promote positive change to address these critical challenges.
The vision of the GROW Campaign: Small-holder farmers, other poor food producers and consumers, particularly women, realise their right to food and sustainable livelihoods, thereby contributing to reductions in hunger, in the context of new opportunities and threats created by international responses to food crisis and climate change.
