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

Oxfam Pilipinas has been at the forefront of Anticipatory Action programming since 2017, beginning with the B READY project in Eastern Samar, followed by SUPPA and SHARPER in 2019, SUPREME BARMM in 2022, and the health sector AA study in 2025. Oxfam also contributed to the passage of the Philippine Imminent Disaster Law (RA 12287) in 2025, institutionalizing AA in national disaster risk management policy.

These milestones have generated a wealth of knowledge, tools, and lessons that need to be consolidated into updated AA modules. The modules will serve as reference materials for training, advocacy, and program design, ensuring that Oxfam and partners continue to lead in advancing AA practice, localization, GEDSI integration, and policy influence.

The Consultant Writer will:

• Review existing AA modules and related documentation (training guides, reports, case studies, policy briefs).
• Update content to reflect the latest Oxfam AA initiatives (B‑READY, SUPPA, SHARPER, SUPREME BARMM, health sector AA study, RA 12287).
• Package modules into clear, user‑friendly formats suitable for training, advocacy, and partner engagement.
