About Oxfam Pilipinas

We seek lasting change. We at Oxfam Pilipinas dream and work for a future where Filipinos are free from poverty. For more than 30 years, serving in a country where close to 27 million now live in poverty, we have relied on the power of people to carry out programs designed to achieve our shared vision. Central to our strategy is working with partners to transform the unequal power relations, structures, norms, and values that cause poverty and inequality, including gender-based violence and injustice. 

We strive to apply a feminist lens to all our analyses and actions. We seek to save lives, provide access to services, and reduce the impact of disasters, particularly on the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. We belong to the larger Oxfam family of over 20 organizations networked with partners and grassroots communities in all corners of the globe. We are part of a global movement for genuine change, seeking to rid the world of the scourge of poverty, with gender justice at the core of what we do.

Background

Last July 2023, local CSO partners SIAD Initiatives in Mindanao – Convergence for Asset Reform and Regional Development (SIMCARRD) Inc. and the Kasanyangan Center for Community Development Foundation Inc. (KCCDMFI), and Oxfam Pilipinas’ Resilience Portfolio team started the implementation of the joint local development effort “Strengthening Agri-Fishery Enterprises Through Women and Youth Economic Empowerment, Inclusive Business, and Climate Resilience (WEE SAFE) Project.

Supported by European Union’s Bangsamoro Agri-Enterprise Program (EU BAEP) in the Philippines, the two and a half years project aims to transform existing economic opportunities for women, youth, indigenous people, and other small food producers in the provinces of Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) by enhancing collective agency of marginalized groups, facilitating both government and private sector support, and promoting more inclusive, gender responsive, and climate resilience policies, programs, and practices.

As the initiative reaches its endpoint, the project partners and Oxfam Pilipinas decided to commission an independent endline project evaluation that aims to assess project results and impact, measure changes against the baseline results, and draw out insights on outcomes.  As such, the proposed endline evaluation is expected to inform Oxfam Pilipinas’ and partners’ programming around WEE and gender justice in BARMM.
