How does Oxfam Australia select projects?
Our strategic plan is organised around four external change goals – economic justice, essential services, rights in crisis and gender justice – and two central commitments promoting active citizenship and accountability. We undertake regional and country level planning processes where we determine the direction of our work in line with these objectives and how we can demonstrate an impact. We take into account issues such as the environment, women, culture, community power structures, the local economy, existing resources and relationships that affect poverty and identify underlying vulnerability as well as potential risks. We work with local partner organisations and communities as well as key staff within the organisation to define how these projects can best be delivered. You can support a specific project or several development projects through our monthly giving programs.
