For Oxfam Pilipinas

Philippine Nationals Only

Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.

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

The Strengthening Agri-fishery Enterprise through Women and Youth Empowerment Inclusive Business and Climate Resilience (WEE-SAFE) Project is funded by the European Union through the Bangsamoro Agri-Enterprise Program and implemented by SIAD Initiatives in Mindanao–Convergence for Asset Reform and Regional Development (SIMCARRD), Kasanyangan Center for Community Development and Microfinance, Inc. (KCCDMFI), Oxfam Pilipinas, and Oxfam Belgique in Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi.

The project promotes economic empowerment for women, youth, and Indigenous people through the development of agri-fishery enterprises using inclusive business models and social entrepreneurship. This work is especially critical in BaSulTa, a resource-rich but economically marginalized region. While farming and fisheries remain the backbone of livelihoods, production is undermined by limited access to technology and financing, weak integration into Halal value chains, destructive fishing practices, and conflict-driven displacements.

BARMM records the country’s highest poverty incidence (55.9%, PSA 2022), with farmers and fisherfolk among the hardest hit.  For women, youth, and indigenous peoples, poverty and exclusion are even more acute, leaving them with fewer opportunities to break the cycle of vulnerability. By addressing these systemic barriers, the project provides pathways for inclusive enterprise growth and more resilient communities.
