Oxfam is an international confederation of 17 organizations working together with partners and local communities in more than 90 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. In Uganda, Oxfam started work in the 1960s and since then we have been implementing both development and humanitarian programmes. Our vision is a Uganda free of extreme inequality and injustice to this effect, we work nationally through policy advocacy & campaigns anchored on our development and humanitarian programs. Our program footprint is concentrated in the greater north of Uganda i.e. West Nile, Acholiland, Lango, Teso, and Karamoja. We believe that poverty is not a fact of life but an injustice to be overcome. Therefore, we work with poor communities, local organisations, volunteers and supporters to make this a reality. As we strive to achieve lasting solutions through our values of empowerment, accountability and inclusiveness for this reason, women are at the center of our work. Program Our programme is anchored on three broad themes deliberately focused on Women’s rights; • Resilient livelihoods: focusing on land rights for women and pastoralists, engendered value chains and markets, climate change & adaptation, youth employment and unpaid care work for women including GBV. • Governance & Accountability: focusing on active citizenship around taxes and budget allocation, extractives and women leadership. Key focus is on facilitating citizen & especially women voices. • Humanitarian: focusing on preparedness, humanitarian capacity building and emergency response particularly on WASH, EFSVL and protection of women & children.
