About OXFAM
Oxfam is a global movement of people who won’t live with the injustice of poverty. Together we save and rebuild lives in disasters. We help people build better lives for themselves. We speak out on the big issues that keep people poor, like inequality, discrimination against women and climate change. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can live without poverty.
Our Values
All our work is led by three core values:
Empowerment. Everyone, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen.
Accountability. We take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable. We believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions.
Inclusiveness. We are open to everyone and embrace diversity. We believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
Our Team
Over the next three years commencing in 2018, Oxfam will maintain organizational effectiveness as a core standard expected of an international humanitarian and development organisation in Indonesia.
Oxfam in Indonesia will represent the Oxfam International (OI) Confederation through the Oxfam International Regional Platform (OI RP) for Asia, supported by different Oxfam affiliates with dedicated roles. We relate with these through agreed upon Partner Affiliate (PA) and Executing Affiliate (EA) arrangements
Oxfam in Indonesia is committed to a ‘localization’ agenda, an ‘intermediary’ for capability development and resource mobilization through new and innovative financial models. As best able, all of Oxfam Indonesia’s programming will be informed and developed through a ‘partner-based model’. This would mean people assisted and supported through Oxfam’s work are included in the development of programmes and initiatives represented by their organisations, institutions and networks who opt to ‘partner’ with Oxfam through long term relationships.
Within this context, Oxfam in Indonesia will maintain a Programme Support Structure that effectively contributes to and pro-actively supports programme delivery commitments, priorities and expected outcomes. It will do this through effective stewardship, management and deployment of physical, financial, human and technological capabilities, assets and resources.
Local organisations and networks take on greater responsibility for developing and implementing development priorities supported by ‘local’ resources’ (Government, Private Sector, Indonesian Organisations, Budget Support mechanisms) and INGOs take on fewer and lesser operational roles.
