Southern Africa Supermarkets Campaign Oxfam in Southern Africa seeks to run a campaign aimed at challenging inequalities in agricultural horticultural commodity value chains and to shift power to the majority women smallholders who grow them. The campaign will enable smallholder farmers, especially women, to improve access to markets and increase their incomes for better livelihoods.  Development and subsequent implementation of the campaign will involve Oxfam Country Programmes in the Southern African Region (Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa) with active participation of local partners, research institutions, farmer unions and producer groups as well as consumers. The campaign will target South African, and large local, retail supermarkets, governments, related oversight and regulatory bodies, and relevant private sector bodies in respective countries. The development phase of the campaign will involve (i) carrying out a study to reveal the behaviour of supermarkets, government regulations/policies and structures that maintain the inequality observed in regional retailers' horticulture commodity value chains and gauging perceptions among key campaign targets, proposed key agents and supporters, (iii) country and regional level consultations of partners and formations of and representing smallholder farmers, and (iii) a campaign design process.   Once completed, this will be followed by launch of the campaign in all participating countries.  The campaign will work by mobilising a powerful coalition of consumers and producers to pressure Supermarkets and authorities to change policy and practice towards enhanced participation of smallholders in value chains, with commitments for specific levels of their horticulture commodity sourcing coming from smallholders. Further, the campaign will ask government to make the right investments to help women smallholder farmers become more competitive and market ready. These activities will be anchored on strong research evidence, expert analysis

Her Future, Her Choice: Strengthening Young Women's Sexual Reprod Healt & Rights The project was developed to respond to the gender inequality and women's rights violations undermining access to comprehensive, rights -based sexual and reproductive health information and services for adolescent girls and young women (10 -24 years) in selected districts of Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia.  The program directly addresses the barriers that are hindering access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for adolescent girls and young women in program communities – particularly harmful social norms, traditional practices and taboos regarding sexuality; lack of adequate information on Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services; and lack of decision -making power by women regarding their health and sexuality.  In so doing, the program ultimately contributes to transforming gender inequality and discrimination, which are at the root of these barriers.    This will be achieved by applying a three -pronged approach: (1) engaging adolescent girls and young women, men and boys, community -leaders and norm -setters to understand and transform discriminatory social norms through awareness raising leading to increased mobilisation for greater SRHR for young women, including in schools (encouraging comprehensive sexuality education), to create a demand for comprehensive SRH services. Through this component the project will address issues of sexual and gender -based violence (GBV); including child, early and forced marriage (CEFM); early pregnancy; and female genital mutilation and cutting (FGMC) empowering women to be able to make reproductive health choices for themselves. (2) Strengthening the health system to deliver comprehensive SRH services including family planning, contraception, safe abortion and comprehensive post -abortive care and secondary prevention services for GBV.  This will be achieved by training health service providers at the health facility level, and through improving health system management capacity and quality improvement pr

Humanitarian Situation in Ghana and Cote D'Ivoire Assessment for OI Positioning Situation in Cote d'Ivoire (CdI) is evolving rapidly following the political unrest that started in November 2010, leading to huge human rights violations reported in Western CdI. The Humanitarian situation is reported to be considerably weak, and this is likely to continue deteriorating even if the Presidential question is resolved reasonably swiftly. There is limited response going on currently due to insecurity and uncertainly in the scope of the needs. This project is therefore aiming at assessing the humanitarian situation in Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire in order to provide a clear picture for Oxfam positioning to emergency response.

PRO ACT : EU Support to Food Security and Resilience in Northern Nigeria This action will develop opportunities for smallholder farmers to influence policy forums at LGA and State levels. This will create transparency in the agricultural governance and facilitate positive decisions and implementation of policies that favour poor farmers. The enabling environment will allow key stakeholders, including the private sector, to participate and play an innovative role. Services such as information and finance, inputs and extension services will improve. As a result, farmers will be able to produce more and can revive their livelihoods.   The project has chosen to focus agricultural and food production tentatively on maize, pearl millets, groundnuts, cow peas and vegetables (tomato and onions). These crops have the potential to supplement food needs as well as increasing the cash income and purchasing power of communities. These commodities are usually grown in the agro climatic zones across the north and farmers have the skills to farm those crops. Their choice is also informed by existing value chain assessments from ADP and FEWSNET and the priority commodity value chain identified in the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) per geopolitical zones. Those pre -selected priority commodity value chains will be validated once the final communities are selected and additional assessments (baseline) are completed.
