Awareness of Citizen on Tax & Spendings Enhance Awareness of Citizen on Tax and Spending on Essential Services
Tax is widely considered a complex subject that should be left to experts. This perception has contributed to  the  huge  gap  in  information available  to  the public on  the  issues  of  tax  and development. Economic human rights include the right to food, education, health, security and other basic rights; achieving these rights is conditional on the availability of financial resources to fund them and at the same time ensuring that the funds are spent transparently.  Tax is therefore, key to ensuring that Pakistan state can fulfill its human rights obligations.

Role of tax as a tool for development has been largely ignored in development policy - making for decades. This is now changing rapidly, international organizations including the United Nations, the IMF,  the OECD and international civil society organizations are bringing the tax debate to the international development arena.

Until recently, many Pakistani organizations campaigning have focused their attention on monitoring government expenditures. Oxfam hopes to encourage these organizations to widen the scope of their work to include the revenue side of government finance. This is important because as government expenditure as a proportion of total economic activity in Pakistan increases, the question of who is carrying the tax burden becomes a central justice issue. Considering the inequality that exists in Pakistan today these issues of how wealth and income are taxed, and how tax can be used as an instrument for redistribution, should become core themes for all organizations seeking to achieve economic justice.

Tax Justice is a national campaign on issues of taxation and spending on essential services- aiming to raise awareness among citizen and then translate awareness to influence policy makers and policy institutions on the following three objectives of the campaign.

A)  Abolishing regime of Exemptions/SROs for Right to Life (Article 3)
B)  Broadening the Tax Net and gender dimension of tax rates
C)   Sustainable  and equitable financing for education, health and social development services

Pro-poor Tea value chain "This project is implemented by Oxfam Hong Kong from 2013 to 2015. The overall goal of the project is to reduce poverty, increase livelihood diversification and enhance resilience of the poor and ethnic minorities and women in the poorest areas of Vietnam, through pro-poor value chain development of tea.
Nghe An is one of the 10 major tea growing provinces in Vietnam, with tea being cultivated in  6 districts (i.e. Thanh Chuong, Anh Son, Con Cuong, Quy Hop, Que Phong and Ky Son) benefiting around 14,000households.  The average annual production yields about 9-10 tons/ha (compared to the national average of 7.7 tons/ha). Nghe An has the potential to become the best province in terms of health safety standards (organic) for tea production. Compared to other districts, Ky Son is the only one producing Shan tea (instead of other export varieties of black tea, such as LPD1 LPD2, PH1) and Thanh Chuong  is the biggest district producing tea in Nghe An with the majority of exporting products as Black tea Orthodox, black tea CTC and Orthodox green tea.
In this project, we work closely with the Youth Union 8 and 10 (YU) in Ky Son District. They have been Oxfam partner for few years on tea development. As an effort to improve villagers# livelihood, the YU not only organize farmers in tea production but also collect tea leaves and process and sell to the domestic markets.
Youth Union No.8 and No.10 were established in 2003 with the purposeof providing technical and trade support to tea farmers in the area of Huoi Tu, Muong Long communes, Ky Son districts. YU No. 8 and10 are the sole buyers in the tea areas. 64% of YU8#s revenue in 2012 came from the farming, processing, and trading of tea, while the rest came from other activities such as the production of teaand other forestry seeds, poultry and cattle farming, etc. Oxfam works with VITAS to build capacity of YU to enable them to produce higher quality products, selling them at higher prices, as a result, indirectly, increases the income for the local tea growers.
Overall objective: To effectively support the sustainable development of tea values chain for the poor and ethnic minorities in Nghe An province.
4 specific objectives:
