Oxfam will ensure that competent staff will supervise procurement and delivery at every stage of the processes. Oxfam will also ensure that any procurement undertaken by implementing partners will follow the same rules and regulation.
When applicable, particular care will be taken in procuring the highest number of supplies on the local market. This particularly applies to Food and NFI. This component of the program is intended to support the integration of theMigrants and Refugees into the local environment and, at the same time, to provide additional financial support to the host communities.

In order to ensure good quality and durable materials and final products, Oxfam will deploy national and international experts (when needed) trough the entire procurement process, as well as during the construction/rehabilitation phases. Construction/rehabilitation works will be implemented with the agreement and support of civil and military authorities. Contractors will be in possession of the required EU/Greece certifications and will be able to provide the same documentation for the final products included in this proposal.

The humanitarian response in Greece is part of a European Regional Response and therefore supported by a Regional Humanitarian Response Team (consisting of a Regional Program Lead, a Regional Right inCrisis Campaign Manager and a Regional Funding Coordinator). The Regional Program Lead is providing a functional steer to the Country Representative, ensuring programme consistency with the regional response strategy, sharing information and learnings and linkingrelevant programme/ expert staff.
